Wearing jersey nubmer 94 for the Giants between the 1996 and 2000 NFL regular seasons, Cedric Jones played his entire NFL career with New York.  Taken with the number 5 overall pick in the 1996 NFL draft by the Giants out of the University of Oklahoma, Jones played sparingly in his first few seasons wearing number 94 for Big Blue.  In his fourth NFL season, he took to the field quite a bit more than he had in previous seasons.  He started in all 16 regular season games for the Giants in 1999, recording 43 solo tackles, 17 assists, 7.5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles in his best NFL season.  In his final season with New York, the 2000 regular season, Jones again started in all 16 regular season games and was an integral part of the Big Blue defense which helped guide the team to Super Bowl XXXV.
