Marcus Jones

[Yankee Traveler]

Cool Story...
I know Southie was big on Jones, huge on Jones, and he got me on the bandwagon as well.
So I get into work this morning and an employee of mine who is a HUGE Steelers fan (Yes. He's 450 lbs and he's a Steelers fan) comes over and congratulates me on the Pats selection of Marcus Jones. I tell him I'm super psyched and he tells me we'll love him, he can run, catch, play DB, WR, RB or ST Gunner or Returner. My guy has been following him since he got to college because he coached him in middle school before he moved back to Alabama! My guy has been coaching middle school football for twenty plus years and this was one of his kids. he has stayed in touch with him and made some trips to watch him ply ball.

I asked him if was going to become a Pats fan now and his face went dark. No.
He did say he would buy a Marcus Jones Jersey, but it would be a small so every body would know he had never worn it!

I'm thinking Marcus becomes a valuable member of this team.
He will be the best returner in NFL.
How valuable will he be at CB?
Will he become more valuable at gadget/receiver?
If Josh McDaniel was still here......

Umm you took a little longer to respond than I anticipated so, no, not anyone they will ever find.

He can be an awesome OC and still not have the ingenuity of Josh.....

Or maybe more??????

Bad news, if you take the guy out, you still heard it from him first.

Well... he was considered maybe the best ever collegiate returner. Makes sense.

Stock up: Marcus Jones​

The rookie third-round pick was touted as a dynamic athlete before the Patriots even drafted him, but he's flashed that kind of ability in spurts throughout the course of camp. His quickness and speed have been apparent on punt-return opportunities, and on Monday his vertical leap showed up. On a fade to Jakobi Meyers -- to whom Jones was giving up six inches in height -- Jones stuck with his coverage assignment and then leaped to break up the pass that hit Meyers' hands.
