Former Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey also praised Jones on Twitter: “Terribly sad news today, Tony was a great teammate and wonderful man. Always dressed to the nines and always smiling. Lisa and I send love and peace to his family.”
"Another sad day as my friend and former teammate #TonyJones passed away yesterday," wrote Terrell Davis on Twitter. "He was gentle giant with a great smile. A member of that amazing offensive line that I ran behind/helped us win two World titles.Going to miss you big fella. R.I.P."
