Many seem to undervalue the contributions Marvin Jones makes for the Detroit Lions. Now, the receiver is finally receiving some much-needed recognition.
Expectations were set usually high for Marvin Jones Jr. when he joined the Detroit Lions back in 2016. The former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver signed a five-year, $40 million contract as a free agent to come to Detroit the very same week legendary wideout Calvin Johnson retired.
Although no one believed Jones would outright replace Johnson’s production, it was still unknown how the Lions’ offense would fare without the threat of Megatron on the field.
