While Bob Talamini is a player from several decades ago, former Titan Ben Jones is QUITE the opposite.

Ben Jones was the Titan's former starting center from 2016, all they way until being released just a few months ago!

Jones was a big part of turning the franchise around in 2016. He helped improve the talent and culture in a big positive way.

Jones was, and still likely is, a humble yet hardnosed player. Soft spoken as far as interviews went, but a straight up DAWG on the field full of intensity, but also had very good awareness.

Coaches and teammates NEVER had a single bad thing to say about Ben Jones. He will be missed greatly this year, I am curious to see how his absence will impact the team.

Prior to this past 2022 season, Jones only missed one single game as a Titan! He started every single game from 2016-2018, and 2020-2021.

Even though Jones dealt with injury in 2022, he still played in 12 games AND he was named a Pro Bowler for the first time!

It would have been great to see Jones stick around a few more years, but I can't do anything to change that. I am glad that he managed to get a Pro Bowl in his final season with the team!

Might have to get a Ben Jones jersey once I get rich LMAO!!

A game I played versus the Ravens, an arch rival. 2024 will be the first time in SEVEN years Jones won't be at center in Madden, pretty nuts!!

#TITANUP!
