New England Patriots rookie Marcus Jones has been selected to the Pro Football Writers of America’s 2022 All-NFL team, the organization announced Monday.
The Paul Hornung Award recipient out of Troy and Houston got the call at punt returner after a regular season in which he sprinted for touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams.
Jones, 24, averaged 12.5 yards per punt return through 29 opportunities and finished with an NFL-leading 362 yards in that phase. Along the way arrived a handful of punt returns that gained 20-plus yards — including a game-winning score from 84 yards away in the closing seconds against the New York Jets.
