Ernest Jones is a former professional American football defensive back who played in four NFL seasons from 1976 to 1979 for the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Giants. He was drafted by the Seahawks in the 5th round of the 1976 NFL Draft after playing college football for the Miami Hurricanes. After playing mostly as a backup cornerback for the Seahawks in 1976, the Seahawks moved him to free safety during the 1977 preseason, but he was waived before the start of the 1977 season and signed by the Giants. Jones was waived by the Giants during the 1980 preseason and was not picked up by any other team, ending his pro football career. Giants' head coach Ray Perkins said of waiving Jones that Jones could no longer play "at a level of winning football" due to a foot injury he suffered during the 1979 season and added that "I recommended he retire. Getting waived was his choice. I know we spoke to nine teams and there was no interest." According to Jones' roommate and fellow Giants' defensive back Beasley Reece, Jones spent the 1980 offseason working to regain his mobility but wasn't able to.
