Best Answer

His birth-name is Drew. He wears Jones in honor of his grandfather on his mother's side. MJD's grandfather had a profound impact on him while he was growing up and always encouraged him. I believe it was during MJD's last year at UCLA his grandfather passed away and when he went to the NFL he started wearing the hyphenated name. His grandfather passed from heart problems related to smoking among other things and hence MJD is also active in the American Heart Association as well as some anti-smoking campaigns.
