Mike Jones played football at the University of Missouri as a running back. While at MU, he set the school record for most yards in a quarter, 104, and set the all-time mark for receptions for a running back in a season (41) and in a career (72).  During his twelve-year NFL career he played linebacker for three teams: the Raiders, the St. Louis Rams, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He is best known for his actions during the final play of Super Bowl XXXIV, known as The Tackle, when he tackled Titan receiver Kevin Dyson at the one-yard line to preserve a Rams victory.

After retiring as a player, Jones spent six seasons coaching Hazelwood East High School with a state title in 2008.  He then became the head football coach at Lincoln University in Jefferson City.
