Cincinnati Bengals

Jones was drafted in the fifth round, 166th overall, by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2012 NFL Draft. He saw a limited role in the Bengals offense during his rookie season, starting in five of 11 games and catching 18 passes. In his second year, he had a breakout performance in the team's 49-9 win over the New York Jets in week 8, catching 8 passes for 122 yards and a franchise record 4 touchdowns. He finished the year with 51 receptions for 712 yards and 10 touchdowns, along with 65 rushing yards. His receiving yards and touchdown catches both ranked second on the team.

In the Week 8 victory over the New York Jets in the 2013 season, he set a new franchise record of four touchdowns in a single game. In the Bengals 27-10 playoff loss against the San Diego Chargers, Jones set a franchise playoff record with 130 receiving yards on eight catches.

Ankle and foot injuries kept Jones out of action for the entire 2014 season. He was due to return to the lineup in Week 5, but he re-injured his ankle in practice the week before and, on October 14, he was placed on Injured Reserve, ending his season. Jones is signed through the 2015 season.

After missing all of 2014, Jones returned in 2015 and caught 65 passes for 816 yards and four touchdowns. His first score since returning came in week two in a 24-19 victory over the San Diego Chargers, the last team he had played in a meaningful game against (2013-14 playoffs). Four weeks later, Jones set a season-high mark with nine receptions and 95 yards to go along with a touchdown in the Bengals' 34-21 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Jones was held under 40 yards in each of the Bengals' last three games, all without original starting quarterback Andy Dalton. With AJ McCarron under center, Jones snagged four passes for 32 yards in Cincinnati's 18-16 playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Detroit Lions

On March 11, 2016, the Detroit Lions signed Jones to a five-year, $40 million contract.
