BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Lions signed receiver Marvin Jones early on in free agency to be a versatile component to their receiving corps alongside Golden Tate.
“I’m just a guy that’s coming in and trying to make plays that help this team,” Jones said after signing with the Lions. “I don’t look at the No. 1 and No. 2 receiver. We have a lot of talent here. We all step up to the plate and make our plays.”
Jones was clearly the No. 2 receiver in Cincinnati behind Pro Bowler A.J. Green. In Detroit, he and Tate could be 1A and 1B.
