Phil Jones

Philip Jones (born June 11, 1956) is a Canadian former professional football defensive back who played seven seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Toronto Argonauts, Montreal Concordes, Ottawa Rough Riders, and Edmonton Eskimos. He played CIAU football at Simon Fraser University.

Early life Philip Jones was born on June 11, 1956, in Scarborough, Ontario. He also played three seasons of junior football with the Scarborough Rams of the Ontario Football Conference (OFC).

On July 2, 1982, Jones was traded to the Montreal Concordes for future considerations. He dressed in 51 games overall during his time in Montreal from 1982 to 1985, and was the starting free safety from 1983 to 1985. Jones expressed shock at only being traded for future considerations, stating "I just bought a house in Montreal last year" and "I think I was coming off my best season." As a result of this, Jones said "There's been a grievance lodged because, in fact, I really was hurt.

Jones then signed with the Edmonton Eskimos after an injury to Laurent DesLauriers. Jones finished his CFL career with totals of 96 games dressed, 20 interceptions for 188 yards, three sacks, three fumble recoveries, 112 punt returns for 948 yards and one touchdown, 20 kickoff returns for 459 yards, and one punt for 46 yards. He designed and marketed the Dynavision D1 cognitive training device in 1989. The company later released a second model known as the Dynavision D2. During the 2010s, Dynavision became a distributor of the CoreControl Cooling Glove, which cools down body temperature during exercise or sport.
