Dre'Mont Jones is making some noise in his rookie season.

The former Buckeye defensive tackle had the best game of his young NFL career this week, and he was rewarded with AFC Defensive Player of the Week Honors.

Jones lived in the backfield during the Denver Broncos' 27-17 win over the Lions, finishing with 2.5 sacks and three quarterback hits. Entering the game, Jones had just one sack, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits for the entire season.

Jones was selected by the Broncos in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft and has appeared in eight games this season.
