Jones was part of Tampa Bay's 2021 Super Bowl team. The tailback played a key role for the Bucs against Kansas City, completely dominating the run game. In Super Bowl LV he accumulated 12 carries on 61 yards.

Entering his fourth year in the league, Jones is expected to return alongside Leonard Fournette as one of the leading tailbacks for Bruce Arians team. Arians recently appeared on the Pewter Report Podcast and broke down the running back room and their potential roles heading into the 2021 season.

“Of all the positions, it’s probably the one where those two guys will compete,” Arians said.

“But they’re both gonna play. They’re so talented and they both bring so much to the table. Hopefully if they’re both healthy, they are splitting time. I know fantasy doesn’t like that, but those two guys…I mean, RoJo is one of the best runners I’ve been around. Lenny had that great run in the playoffs. He showed what they drafted him for in the top 5. So we’re blessed to have this group of backs, with Ke’Shawn and Gio. It’s a hell of a group.” [Arians]
