For Jones, this is his sixth-consecutive Pro Bowl selection, and seven total in his NFL career.
Meanwhile, this is the first Pro Bowl nod for Jarrett. The 2015 fifth-round pick has 65 tackles, 13 quarterback hits and 5.5 sacks with two games remaining this season.
"It's been a long time coming. I thought Grady should've gone in a couple of years ago," Falcons Radio Network analyst Dave Archer said.
"This is a guy that's kind of a heart-and-soul guy when it comes to the Falcon team in general but certainly his effort defensively. He's a guy that goes 90 mph as long as he can and then taps out for a play or two and then gets back in the game, and he doesn't really tap out very often."
Jarrett has gotten better with each season he's played but how has he grown as a player this year?
"I think the thing that he does better than he did in his first couple of years in the league is he finishes plays...I think his ability to finish has been the most impressive thing he's gotten better at."
