Deatrich Wise Jr. on defensive-turned-offensive lineman Bill Murray: ‘He looks like he’s been playing O-line for 10 years’

Third-round rookie cornerback Marcus Jones has recently made headlines due to his contributions on offense. While the circumstances are not quite the same, Jones is not the first New England Patriots player to move from one side of the ball to the other this year.

Whereas Jones is being used as a two-way player, Bill Murray has made a full-time switch from the offensive to the defensive side of the ball: the third-year man, who started his career as a defensive lineman, is now playing on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

Jones changed positions this summer, to help maximize his ability to stick around.
