On a Patriots offense severely lacking in big-play generators and high-end talent, defensive back Marcus Jones was a breath of fresh air in 2022.
Jones’ starred in his first season as an All-Pro punt returner and a promising cornerback in New England’s secondary. But the 2022 third-round pick also earned reps on the other side of the ball, even scoring a 48-yard touchdown on his first offensive snap of the season.
Jones reeled in four total catches for 78 yards and that one score last year, with New England utilizing his speed and shiftiness as an impromptu receiver.
