Ronald Jones II was born on August 3, 1997, and is an American football running back for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at USC.
A heavily recruited high school running back out of the state of Texas, he chose to attend USC. He finished his college career with over 3600 yards rushing over three seasons, and left college football a year early, being selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
After a rookie 2018 season where he saw limited action as a back-up, Jones took over the Buccaneers’ starting running back position part way through the 2019 campaign, finishing the season with 9 starts and leading the team with 724 yards rushing. He started the 2020 season as the team’s starter, only relinquishing the job to Leonard Fournette after a late-season COVID-19 diagnosis kept him out of the last few games of the regular season.
Jones attended McKinney North High School in McKinney, Texas where he ran track and played football.
Jones played college football at USC under head coaches Steve Sarkisian and Clay Helton. As a freshman in 2015, Jones played 14 games with 987 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards, and 9 total touchdowns.
As a sophomore in 2016, Jones played 13 games with 1,082 rushing yards, 79 receiving yards, and 13 total touchdowns. As a junior in 2017, Jones played 13 games with 1,550 rushing yards, 165 receiving yards, and 20 total touchdowns. After his junior year, Jones decided to forgo his senior year and enter the 2018 NFL Draft.
Is Ronald Jones an RB2?
On paper, it’s a nice addition as RoJo has some explosiveness as a runner and is a capable receiver out of the backfield as well.
