It’s not unusual for NFL players to have played on both sides of the football in high school. New England Patriots rookie Marcus Jones did at Enterprise High School.
After receiving honorable-mention All-State recognition in 2015 at Enterprise, Jones earned ASWA first-team honors in 2016, when he intercepted five passes, returned three punts, one kickoff and one fumble recovery for touchdowns and also caught a TD pass.
But unlike most players in major-college football, Jones continued playing all over the field after high school. At Houston last season, Jones recorded 47 tackles, intercepted two passes, ran back 15 kickoffs for a 34.
