Jones-Drew made three trips to the Pro Bowl throughout his career as he rushed for over 1,300 yards from 2009-11, and he reached 1,600 in 2011 while scoring 15 touchdowns in 2009.
The former UCLA running back began to decline in the 2012 season though as he battled injuries throughout his career, and a Lisfranc injury put him on injured reserve.
The 29-year-old bounced back in 2013 with an 800-yard rushing season before seeing a minimal role with the Raiders in his final year.
