Mike A. Jones (born April 15, 1969, in Kansas City, Missouri) is an American football linebacker in the National Football League. During his NFL career, which started in 1991 and ended after 2002, Jones has played on three teams: the Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders, the St. Louis Rams, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jones attended college at the University of Missouri, where he originally played as a running back. He was converted to the linebacker position when he signed with the Raiders as a rookie free agent.

He also had a superb performance during the regular seas that year, recording 1 sack and 4 interceptions, which he returned for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also recovered 2 fumbles, returning them for 51 yards and a touchdown.

Jones finished his 12 seasons with 8 sacks, 8 interceptions, 132 return yards, 5 fumble recoveries, 94 return yards, and 4 touchdowns(2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries) in 183 games.
