Lions' Marvin Jones takes singing talent to American Idol stage

Allen Park — You already know Marvin Jones can catch, but did you know he can sing?

The Lions receiver is bringing that talent out of the shadows and into the spotlight, auditioning for American Idol.

“It’s just a good opportunity,” Jones said. “I’ve been in the league six years and there’s still people that don’t know I can sing. I’ve never really put myself out there, only when people were nagging me to do it. It was just a change and just something I thought would be a cool experience before I get too old.
