Jones, Stephen

Card: All World 1991
Acquired: TTM 1992, C/o The CFL

After graduating from Central Michigan in 1982, wide receiver/ kick returner Stephen Jones would play from 1985-1993 in the Canadian Football League.  He played in 1985 for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but headed over to the Edmonton Eskimos from 1986 to 1989.  On August 1st 1986, in a game versus the Toronto Argonauts, Jones would finish with the 3rd all-time single game kick-return yardage record with 228.  He’d then finish out his career with the Ottawa Rough Riders from 1990-1994. Stephen was a two-time CFL West All-Star in 1990 and 1992. In 1992, Jones helped the Rough Riders make the playoffs for the first time in over 10 years, as the team lost a heartbreaker 29-28 to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the first round of the playoffs. As with many CFL players the information regarding players is quite scarce.
