New Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones went from Southern California to Northern California for college, from Etiwanda High School in the Inland Empire to the University of California, Berkeley.
The man who helped bring him to Cal, then-receivers coach Kevin Daft, still watches Jones’ games on NFL Rewind and occasionally texts him to say hello.
“I’ll stay in touch with Marv his entire life,” Daft said. “He’s probably the best player I’ll ever coach, arguably. You never know but he’s definitely one of the best people.”
How did Daft, now the offensive coordinator at UC Davis, land Jones, a four-star recruit by Rivals?
