Jones joined the Giants as an offensive assistant in 2022 but spent each of the previous two seasons as the assistant quarterbacks coach under Shea Tierney. He worked hand-in-hand with Daniel Jones, as well as Drew Lock, Tyrod Taylor, Tommy DeVito, Tim Boyle, and others over that span.
Before joining the Giants, Jones broke into coaching with Northwestern, his alma mater, as an offensive assistant with the offensive line in 2017. He joined Texas as an offensive graduate assistant in 2018 before finally making his way to the NFL in 2019, where he linked up with current Browns coach Kevin Stefanski.
At the time, Stefanski was the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. Jones served as the offensive quality control coach.
From 2020 through 2021, Jones held the position of Vikings’ assistant wide receivers coach.
