Familiar Patriots legend has been crucial to Marcus Jones’ success

The New England Patriots’ rookie class has made a strong impression in its first season for the team. Marcus Jones was an example of that, as he scored the game-winning touchdown on a kickoff return against the New York Jets.

Jones was known as a versatile player in college while at Houston. He was given the 2021 Paul Hornung award, which is given to the nation’s most versatile player in college football.

That versatility has translated well to the NFL.

Patriots legend and receivers coach Troy Brown has worked closely with Jones over the past couple of months.
