Background:
In recognition of Sports Broadcaster Tyler Jones exceptional achievements and unwavering dedication as a sports broadcaster and storyteller. From his humble beginnings in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to becoming a national voice for major NFL franchises and a champion for Native American athletes, his journey embodies passion, perseverance, and purpose.
His career took off during college as he hosted a full-time morning show and became involved with the Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI) calling play-by-plays. Now he is hosting and analyzing for Chat Sports, covering two NFL powerhouses, the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs. Through his work with Chat Sports, NDNsports.com, and numerous major sporting events, he has not only informed but inspired. His advocacy for Native American representation in media, and your commitment to telling stories that matter, make him not just a broadcaster-but a beacon of impact and integrity.
With over a decade of sports coverage under his belt, he has reported on everything from NFL playoffs to other major sporting events like the Daytona 500, PGA Championship, and several Final Fours, working with major networks like ESPN and Peacock.
Tyler also volunteers his free time to tell the stories of Native American athletes, which is a cause close to his heart. The representation of Native Americans in the media is something Tyler is deeply passionate about.
