Former Mississippi State star Chris Jones has already established himself as one of the best in the game. Now, he’s trying to get into the impression game.

The three-time Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl champion appeared on the season-debut of ESPN’s Manningcast on Monday night as the San Francisco 49ers beat the New York Jets 32-19. Jones appeared in the episode with comedian Adam Sandler and ex-Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

In his appearance, Eli Manning asked Jones about his impression of NBC announcer Chris Collinsworth.

Jones’ impression drew a laugh from Peyton and Eli, but it did offer a reprieve from the less-than-exciting Monday Night Football game (the one bright spot of the night for Jets fans is that Aaron Rodgers lasted more than four plays).

In the Chiefs’ season-opening game last week against the Baltimore Ravens, Jones showed why he’s the best at his position with three tackles, a tackle for a loss and a strip sack that resulted in a turnover. He’ll get another chance to shine Sunday afternoon when the Chiefs host the Cincinnati Bengals (0-1), who lost 16-10 to the New England Patriots.
