Patriots Marcus Jones On His Role on Offense: “I’m a Defensive Back First”

Patriots 2022 draft selection Marcus Jones had quite the rookie campaign for the club after the Patriots selected him in the 3rd round (85th overall), making an impact in nearly every role he played last season.

The defensive back out of the University of Houston ended up being a key member of the defense down the stretch and overall finished last year with two interceptions in his first season as a member of the New England Patriots, including one he returned for a touchdown. He also shined in the return game, with his 84-yard punt return for a score in Week 11 against the Jets being the game-winner, electrifying everyone in Gillette Stadium as the Patriots came away with a much-needed Division win thanks to his effort.
