Jones is a running back, but he was never used excessively in that role for the Raiders. In six NFL seasons, he has 44 carries for 183 yards. Should he make the Bills, it will be as a special teams guy.
Jones is quite experienced in that role. In his career, Jones has returned 74 kicks for 1,751 yards. The majority of those came in 2013 and 2015. Over those two seasons, he returned 57 kicks for 1,452 yards. Jones had a decreased role in 2016, returning only eight kicks for 112 yards, and carrying the ball only once.
Jones, the Bay Area native, has spent his entire pro career with the Raiders.
