METAIRIE - Former LSU linebacker Deion Jones accomplished something not many NFL players have when he signed with his hometown New Orleans Saints. With the deal done, Jones has now been a part of every team in the NFC South.

Despite who Jones has played for in the past, he still had love for the Saints.

"I've always been a Saints supporter," said Jones. "I know what the Saints do for the city. I know this is the heartbeat. If the Saints are doing well, the city's doing well.

But that doesn't mean Jones didn't get some enjoyment out of playing the villain whenever his team played the Black and Gold. Think back to 2016, when Jones had a 90-yard pick-six against Drew Brees.

"I had fun coming in trying to disrupt that every now and again. I always mess with my uncles and family about being the bad guy coming to the city, but still having the love when I come. It's a blessing to be back, and hopefully I'll make some plays in these colors."

During his career at LSU, he was a Butkus Award finalist and a team captain. During his senior season, he led the Tigers in tackles with 100.
