Coming out of college, sixth-round pick Demario Douglas compared his game to New England’s own Marcus Jones. Now in Foxboro, Douglas is getting plenty of opportunities to match up against Jones one on one, and the rookie has impressed.
“He’s a quick guy, for sure,” Jones told reporters on Tuesday. “We’ve just been going at it every single time, whenever I see him, I’m trying to go against him, he’s trying to go against me, we’re just trying to make each other better.”
Working with both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, Douglas has been a near impossible cover for Jones or any other New England defensive back this summer — even going undefeated in 1-on-1 drills.
