Arthur Jones, the former Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle and brother of fellow athletes Jon and Chandler Jones, died on Friday. He was 39 years old.
The Ravens announced his death via a statement on their official website. No cause of death has been revealed.
"We are terribly saddened to learn of Arthur Jones' sudden passing," general manager Eric DeCosta said. "Arthur's presence was a gift to everyone he encountered. His big, bright smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously uplifted others. He was kind, courteous and enthusiastic -- always displaying a love for family, teammates and friends."
A fifth-round pick out of Syracuse, Jones played seven seasons in the NFL. He spent most of his career in Baltimore, emerging as a vital piece in the Ravens' defense when they captured the Lombardi Trophy in 2013.
Jones collected a sack and fumble recovery in Super Bowl 47. His efforts proved essential in Baltimore's 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Jones also turned out for the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders during his NFL tenure.
