In the 2016 NFLHC Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Jones in the fifth round. It was the second "steal" of their draft according to GM TheCrimsonChin. "We were seriously considering taking him in the fourth round, but decided to go in a different direction. You can imagine our surprise when he showed back up in the fifth round, as a comp pick, no less."
The day after the draft, Jones signed a two-year contract with the Vikings worth approximately $2.5 million.
