Caleb Jones (born February 10, 1999) is an American football offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Indiana.[1]
Caleb Jones was born on February 10, 1999, in Indianapolis, Indiana to Darice Maxie and James Jones. Jones attended Lawrence North High School, where he played football, track-and-field, and basketball. After his successful tenure in high school, Jones was named an Associated Press all-state offensive lineman for the state of Indiana.[2]
Jones was rated as the twelfth-best player in the state of Indiana going into college and chose to attend Indiana University. Jones redshirted his freshman year and never played a down for Indiana. In his sophomore year, Jones started his first game against FIU and played in eleven games that year. Jones then started the most games in a season he ever would for Indiana, starting twelve games at right tackle and one game at left tackle. With the help of Jones' blocking, Indiana set a school record for the most amount of passing yards in a season. The next year, due to a shortened season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jones only started five games for Indiana. In Jones' senior and final year, he started all twelve games for Indiana at right tackle.[3]
After going undrafted in the 2022 NFL draft, Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Green Bay Packers. Jones did not initially make the Packers' 53-man roster and was signed to the practice squad.[4] However, due to a lack of depth at offensive line during the 2022 NFL season, Jones was signed from the practice squad to the Packers' roster.[5] On October 1, 2022, Jones was placed on the non-football illness list, and later activated on December 14.[6] [7] After the 2023 season, he was offered a tender.[8]
