Michigan State fans know what Naquan Jones can do, and after working his way up from the practice squad with the Tennessee Titans, NFL fans are getting a taste of it as well.

Jones tallied his first NFL sack in the first quarter of the Titans game with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

A former 4-star recruit from Chicago, Jones developed in East Lansing and was a force on the Spartans defensive line during his four years at Michigan State.

Jones went undrafted in the 2021 NFL Draft, but signed a free agent deal with the Titans shortly after. He performed well enough in practice to move from the practice squad to the active roster, and paid off earlier this season during a 4th down and inches stop against the Buffalo Bills back in Week 6 of the season.
