WATCH: Ravens honor the late Jacoby Jones before preseason game vs. Eagles

Jacoby Jones Ravens Eagles Baltimore (Organization) Baltimore Ravens the Philadelphia Eagles Texans

The Baltimore Ravens honored Jacoby Jones on Friday, playing a heartfelt video before kickoff of the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

A New Orleans native, Jones was named first-team All-Pro in 2013 and helped Baltimore defeat the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. He returned a kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers for the longest play in Super Bowl history. He also became the first player to catch a touchdown and score on a return in the same Super Bowl.

Jones finished his career with 203 receptions for 2,733 yards and 14 touchdowns with 7,628 return yards and nine scores on special teams.

Jones played for the Texans from 2007 to 2011 before signing with the Ravens as a free agent after being released by the Texans in 2012, playing in Baltimore for three seasons.
