Joseph Edwin Jones (born February 21, 1994) is a National Football League linebacker for the Denver Broncos (NFL). He attended Northwestern University and played football there.

Daniel Greer, proceeded gingerly through the beige maze of streets and lanes before approaching dusty mud-brick cottages and storage stalls, some with spare components, others with fallen walls and roofs.
