We all can agree that Marcus Jones is a rare (but raw) talent. He appears established at PR/KR based on his rookie-year performance; apart from return duties, he saw most action at defensive back with impressive cameos at receiver. My question is: on which side of the ball does he hold the most value going forward?
With the possible departure of Jakobi Meyers in free agency, an argument could be made for Jones settling in at slot receiver where his speed/quickness could make him a potent weapon. In fact, if he can develop as a route runner Jones' physical talents arguably are better suited to the slot than Meyers. But of course, Jones flashed at times at DB despite being undersized at 5-8/175. And he was drafted as a defensive back.
Personally, I'd like to see more of what Jones can do as receiver out of the slot, but an argument can be made for him developing at DB as well.
