MARYLAND - The Baltimore Ravens have announced that Super Bowl-winning defensive tackle Arthur Jones has died suddenly at the age of 39.
Jones spent four seasons with the Ravens after being picked by the team in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, before enjoying brief stints with the Indianapolis Colts and the formerly-named Washington Redskins.
The Rochester-born defender, who is the older brother of ex-UFC Heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former New England Patriots star Chandler Jones, announced his retirement at the end of the 2017 season.
It was in Baltimore where he got his hands on a Super Bowl ring, after helping the team defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the 2012 showpiece.
Jones sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the dying seconds of that triumph in New Orleans, where he also registered a fumble recovery to earn himself a special place in Baltimore history.
'We are terribly saddened to learn of Arthur Jones's sudden passing,' Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement on Friday.
