Chris Jones Trademarks

Chris Jones plays defensive end in the National Football League. He is a two-time Pro Bowler, a two-time All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion. He is known as the “President of Sack Nation” for his ability to sack opposing quarterbacks.

Christopher Deshun Jones is from Houston, Mississippi. He was born on July 3, 1994. His parents are Chris Jones Sr. and Mary Woodhouse. He was raised with his two sisters, Camry and Candace. He went to Houston High School, where he lettered in both football and basketball. In basketball, he averaged 14.8 points per game his junior year, and he was selected to play in the Mississippi North/South All-Star Basketball Game in 2011. In football, as a sophomore, he played both offensive line and defensive end. As a junior, he had five sacks and 75 combined tackles. As a senior, he was invited to the Semper Fidelis All-American game, named MVP for the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Classic, played in the Under Armor All-American game, helped lead his team to their first playoff win, and was considered the number two high school recruit in the nation.

He chose to attend Mississippi State University. He started all 39 games that he played in during college. During his freshman year, he was chosen as a freshman All-American and All-SEC Honorable Mention. He had three sacks and 32 tackles. As a junior, he racked up three sacks and 23 tackles. As a senior, he was named a second-team All-American and he had two and a half sacks and 44 tackles. After his junior year, he declared for the NFL Draft.

He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, who signed him to a $6.23 million contract for four years. Jones was initially a backup but saw action in every game. He was named the starter midseason due to a teammate’s injury, and he ended up starting in 11 games. That year, he had two sacks and 28 tackles. In 2017, he had one interception, six and a half sacks, and 32 tackles. He was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for week two of that season. In 2018, he scored his first professional touchdown and had a sack in each of eleven consecutive games, setting an NFL record. For the season he had one interception, 15.5 sacks, 40 tackles, and was named second-team All-Pro. In 2019, he had nine sacks and 36 tackles. He played in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, which the Chiefs won, forcing the first turnover in the game. He was also voted to the Pro Bowl that year.

In March of 2020, the Chiefs decided to use the Franchise tag on Jones, but signed him to an $80 million, four-year contract in July of that year, making him the third highest-paid defensive tackle in the league. He had seven and a half sacks and 36 tackles for the season. He was voted to the Pro Bowl and was named second-team All-Pro. Before the 2021 football season, he was moved to defensive end. He recorded two sacks in the season opener in 2021.

Throughout his career, Jones has been known as the “President of Sack Nation,” so it is no surprise that in order to capitalize on that, his company has obtained a federal trademark registration for “Sack Nation” for retail store services and merchandise. In 2021, the company also filed a trademark application for “Sack Nation” in relation to different types of clothing items and fruit drinks, sodas, and bottled water.

Chris Jones is still an active player in the National Football League and his net worth is estimated to be three million dollars.
