No official cause of death yet. He was basically regarded as the "normal" Jones brother.

quote:

Arthur Jones, a former NFL defensive tackle who was part of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl 47 team, has died, the team announced on Friday. He was 39.



Syracuse University, Jones' alma mater, said he died Friday morning. A cause of death was not immediately announced.

Jones was the older brother of MMA legend Jon Jones and former four-time Pro Bowl NFL defensive end Chandler Jones. The Rochester, New York, native attended Syracuse, where he set a school record for career tackles for loss by an interior defensive lineman (38.5) and made three All-Big East Teams.

"Arthur Jones was a tremendous player and even better person," Syracuse director of athletics John Wildhack said in a statement. "He was someone that brought joy to everyone he encountered. We were fortunate that Arthur continued to support our football program after his playing career.

You’re thinking of the brother who went off the deep end a couple of years ago

Chandler Jones is the one that was mentally off the rails I think

Yeah he was the relatively normal one compared to Jon, until he got to Vegas

It's amazing that Jon still might be the GOAT fighter considering all of the stupid shite he's done outside of the octagon.

What’s crazy is I think if someone didn’t know if his past and met Jon they would think
He was one of the nicest most amazing people. I def think he is some type of sociopath.

This is sad to hear. I've followed the Jones brothers for years, as Arthur and Chandler played football at Syracuse. All of them extremely talented but seemingly with a couple of screws loose. Art was actually the one brother who seemed to be the most well-adjusted.. RIP.
