Given the New England Patriots' issues with offensive production, the coaching staff must be looking for a new spark to help out rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Cornerback Marcus Jones was approached by coaches earlier in the week about playing on offense, per Evan Lazar of Patriots.com.
“Jones said he’d be open to playing on offense going forward, but added defense remains his primary focus.”
The 26-year-old corner is in his third year with New England. In his 2022 rookie season, he was the Patriots primary kick and punt returner. That year, Jones was a first-team All-Pro as a punt returner.
