Gerald "Andre" Jones Jr. (born October 25, 1998) is an American football defensive end for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and was selected by the Commanders in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft.
- He went from "non-factor" to perennial starter. Being a head coach can require telling some harsh truths from time to time, and Billy Napier was blunt when describing Jones back in 2021.
- He's coming off the best two seasons of his college career. All that work Jones put into mastering the playbook and fine-tuning his skill set led to more opportunities, and with that came strides in his production that were hard to ignore.
- He's the most experienced rookie in the Commanders' draft class. If there's one common trait among the Commanders' draft picks, it's that they all had long college careers, and Jones fits right into that mold.
- He's another Ragin' Cajun to wear the Burgundy & Gold. Washington has not dipped into the Ragin' Cajun talent pool often in its 90-year history; prior to Jones, there were only three drafted by the team.
