Who Are Jon ‘Bones’ Jones’ Brothers- Arthur Jones and Chandler Jones?

The trait of excelling in sports was probably something that Jones had in his blood. Both of his siblings, Chandler and Arthur Jones, are top-notch athletes as well. While ‘Bones’ pursued MMA, his brothers opted for football as the sport of their choice and also made it to the highest level of the NFL.

Who is Jon Jones’ brother Chandler Jones?

Chandler Jones is the youngest of the Jones’ siblings trio. The 33-year-old was born on 27 February 1990 in the city of Rochester, New York. Chandler also attended the Union–Endicott High School for his education, similar to his fighter brother ‘Bones’. He showcased outstanding talent in the field of football right from his schooling days. In 2007, he was also selected as the SuperPrep All-Northeast and PrepStar All-East Region. He was labeled as the eighth-best prospect from the state of New York by ‘scout.com’ during this time.

Chandler continued football even after he moved to college for higher education. He attended Syracuse University and continued playing college football till 2011. But, despite playing only seven matches in his last college season, Chandler became a first-round NFL pick by the coveted New England Patriots in the year 2012.

The youngest Jones tasted success for the first time with the New England Patriots in the year 2014-15 when they won the Super Bowl. Following that, Chandler moved on to join the Arizona Cardinals in 2015 and played for them till 2021. From there, he signed a mind-boggling three-year contract of $51 million in agreement to play for the Las Vegas Raiders.

‘Bones’ had once talked to NFL about his brother Chandler, where he stated, “I believe my little brother was born to be a great football player.” These words might be enough for a lot of fans to understand the affection ‘Bones’ has for his younger brother Chandler.

Unfortunately, all hasn’t been going well for the NFL star. He has faced several legal problems. He was also arrested after a disturbing social media post resurfaced. Later, he again had a run in with the law, as he was arrested following a confrontation with police.

Who is Jon Jones’ brother Arthur Jones?

The eldest brother of the Jones siblings’ trio is Arthur Jones. He was born on June 3, 1986, and is a year older than ‘Bones’. Arthur pretty much had the same alma mater as his brothers. He also started playing football during his school days and also had a real affinity towards wrestling. Arthur had competed in the New York state wrestling championships as a heavyweight and was pretty good at it too.

‘Bones’ had once talked to the NFL where he stated, “My brother is one of the best heavyweights in New York state wrestling history and I would wrestle him every day in high school and I would get my a*s kicked by my older brother my whole life.” But, Arthur decided to go ahead with football, leaving wrestling aside. He was picked by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round of the NFL drafts for 2010.

Arthur won his first Super Bowl in the year 2012 with the Ravens. He was then picked by the Indianapolis Colts in 2014 to be released in 2017. Arthur joined Washington Commanders in 2017. But he was sidelined for the entire season due to a shoulder dislocation. Following the 2017 season debacle, Arthur declared his retirement from the sport.

In an old interview with ‘azcentral’, the youngest of the trio, Chandler, shared his take on this matter. He stated, “We were very competitive. We still are. But I mean three brothers who all ended up being professional athletes? You always want to do better than the other brother, so the competitive nature, I think it helped make each of successful.” 

‘Bones’ also reverberated Chandler’s take on this issue. In an interview with ‘Mike and Mike’, ‘Bones’ revealed a fact that seemed rather hard to believe. He stated, “When it comes to size, I’m the smallest by far. So, I’ve been getting my bu** kicked since I was a little boy and I just became comfortable with combat.” Well, we have all witnessed how Jones went on to become the Light Heavyweight champion of the most noted MMA promotion in the world. Many fans might say that an effort to overcome his childhood disadvantage finally led ‘Bones’ to a world championship.

Arthur revealed that he would wrestle during his off-seasons and trained regularly with ‘Bones’. The Jones brothers may be considered an example of how healthy competition from an early age can propel an individual to become the best.
