Former Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Arthur Jones, the brother of UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Chandler Jones, has suddenly passed away at 39.
“We are terribly saddened to learn of Arthur Jones’ sudden passing,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement Friday afternoon.
“Arthur’s presence was a gift to everyone he encountered. His big, bright smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously uplifted others. He was kind, courteous and enthusiastic — always displaying a love for family, teammates and friends.”
Rest in peace big fella! I’m going to miss our random check ins and laughs about who knows what.

This is just awful.
Arthur Jones was one of my favourite Ravens and a MASSIVE piece of that SB DL beside Haloti Ngata.
