See where D.J. Jones ranked among PFF’s best IDL in 2025

Denver Broncos interior defensive lineman D.J. Jones earned recognition among the NFL’s top interior defensive linemen in 2025, according to Pro Football Focus rankings. Jones finished the season strongly, dominating against the run.

PFF ranked Jones as the 13th-best interior defensive lineman in the NFL.

“Jones made a decent impact as a pass-rusher, generating 26 pressures and five sacks in 2025, but he made his living as a run stopper," Thomas Valentine wrote for PFF. "His 73.3 PFF run-defense grade was 10th among defensive tackles, and Jones was top-20 in run stops (25 stops; 17th) and run stop rate (10.7%; 11th).”

Over the last four seasons, Jones has totaled 161 tackles, 17 quarterback hits, 10 pass breakups, eight sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries with the Broncos.

Jones’ ranking showcases how pivotal his play is to the Broncos' defense. He will look to continue anchoring the Denver defense in 2026.
