Marvin Jones Jr.’s first season in Detroit last year can best be described as a tale of two halves.
There was the first half, when the new free-agent signee caught 36 passes for 651 yards and four touchdowns, including his first career 200-yard receiving performance in a loss at Lambeau Field Week 3. At the midway point of the season, Jones was well on his way to a 1,300-yard debut season in Detroit.
But as teams started to pay more attention to Jones after the hot start, and coverage started to shift his way, his production the last half of the season dipped significantly.
