S Reshad Jones

(On making it to the Pro Bowl.) – “I have to give credit to all of my teammates: my front seven, who put pressure on the quarterback and guys who stepped up, like ‘X’ (Xavien Howard) came and made plays to make my job easier, Bobby (McCain) playing all over the field playing everywhere for us this year and T.J. (McDonald) coming in, filling in for Nate (Allen). It was a total team effort. It shouldn’t be just me that gets the accolades.”

(Where were you when you found out you made the Pro Bowl and what was your initial reaction?) – “I actually was at the circus (Cirque du Soleil). I took my daughter and my little sister to the circus. (Head) Coach (Adam Gase) called me and let me know that I had been selected to the Pro Bowl.”

(What was your reaction?) – “I was excited. I was counting on it. I worked hard throughout the offseason. It doesn’t just start during the season, (it) starts during offseason training. I put the work in, so it’s expected.”

(Two years ago you did some lobbying. You had a pretty visible social media effort to get votes. I didn’t see that much of it this year. Does it mean a little bit more that A) You got in the first time supposed to an alternate and B) You didn’t have to go and kind of put yourself out there?) – “I wasn’t really worried about it. I was just coming and doing everything I can to help this team win. Coming off of the injury, I just wanted to be out there to do everything I could to support my teammates and help this team win. It wasn’t really about putting a social media ad out or anything for the Pro Bowl.”

(Your favorite part of the season so far?) – “I really haven’t had a favorite part because we haven’t lived up to our expectations. I’d rather win than be a Pro Bowler any day. You’ve got to give glory to God. He made it all possible.”

(Do you consider one of your touchdowns your signature play of this season? Or the pick in Atlanta to clinch the win?) – “I’d probably say the pick in Atlanta. Hometown victory, a big play that we needed earlier on in the season. I would say that was the play.”

(What was your favorite part of the Pro Bowl experience last time?) – “Just the camaraderie being around other elite athletes at the top of their game. It’s just a cool experience for family and friends to come out and be able to see other athletes and enjoy the festivities and the different things they have for families.”

(Was Ravens S Eric Weddle on that team? I saw that he’s also on this team.) – “I don’t think he was there.”

(Do you know S Eric Weddle or S Micah Hyde?) – “Yes, Weddle is a good friend of mine. We talk. We talk a lot. It’ll be fun.”

(What do you like about S Eric Weddle’s game?) – “He’s a veteran player. He played a lot in this league. He studies film, he knows where he’s supposed to be and he’s a leader.”

(How surprised are you that nobody else on this team was among the selections?) – “I was very surprised. We have a lot of guys that were Pro Bowl eligible that I think should’ve been voted in; but sometimes it’s a popularity contest and that’s how it goes.”
