Detroit — Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones played with several future NFL players at California, and he’s already been in the league for four years.
But he’s still never seen anybody faster than Jahvid Best, the former Lions running back who was at Cal with Jones from 2008-09.
Jones has stayed in touch with his former college teammate, and when asked about Best’s pursuit of a spot on St. Lucia’s Olympic track team — as reported a couple weeks ago by St. Lucia News Online — Jones said Best “has Olympic speed.”
“Man, he was the fastest guy that I’ve ever seen on the field,” Jones said.
