Early years
Jones and his mother, Janet, lived in various homeless shelters. Jones then lived with his paternal grandmother during his high school years. At Gunderson High School in San Jose, California, Jones played basketball, track, and football.[1] During his senior year, Jones was his team's most valuable player as a quarterback.[1] Jones credits his Pop Warner football coach, Marion Larrea, with turning his life around. Larrea saw potential in Jones and treated him as part of his own family. Jones fine-tuned his skills at San Jose State under the leadership of wideout coach Keith (K-Dubb) Williams. After winning Super Bowl XLV in 2011, Jones autographed and gave his game-worn jersey to Larrea, saying he would not have achieved what he did without him.[2]
College career
After three years at San Jose State University, Jones had a breakthrough 2006 senior season, where he caught 70 passes, good for 893 yards and 10 touchdowns.[1] Jones capped off his senior season by catching six passes (106 yards), two for touchdowns, en route to being named the offensive MVP of the inaugural New Mexico Bowl.[3] His accomplishments his senior year earned him second team All-WAC honors along with an invite to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana.[1][4]
