"Jones is an extremely promising young quarterback prospect according to Jet coaches. He spent training camp with the Jets before suffering a back injury late in the preseason. John wound up on the injured reserve list for recuperation and was not active at all during the season.
John already has a strong knowledge of pro defenses and was able to help the coaching staff with its film studies during the season. An extremely intelligent quarterback, he has a strong arm.
He was signed as a free agent on July 10, 1974 after a tryout day held by the Jets. John started the preseason opener against Denver and threw two touchdown passes to David Knight. He threw for four touchdown passes in his three preseason games.
John has a degree in political science and economics. He's nicknamed 'J.J.' His hometown is Memphis, Tennessee."
