ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Marvin Jones Jr. spent his bye week doing something he always thought about doing but hadn’t yet – trying out for American Idol.
The Detroit Lions receiver went to the Nashville auditions for the rebooted show – it’ll premiere on March 11 on ABC – and went in for an audition with Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. For the audition, a feature about it will be shown on ESPN on Sunday, Jones was No. 40025.
Jones wouldn’t say Wednesday what he sang for the judges – or what happens during the audition.
