If there’s any player on the Patriots roster who knows about speed and quickness, it’s Marcus Jones.
He was the only Patriot selected as a First-Team All-Pro last season. His ability to turn the burners on makes him a threat to score in all three phases of the game.
And there’s a rookie receiver whom Jones seeks out during practice to hone those skills against. It’s sixth-round pick Demario Douglas from Liberty.
“He’s a quick guy, for sure,” Jones said. “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.
