Marcus Jones: the Pats version of Deion Sanders?

[Vataha]

The dude already has "1 start" in the NFL so alert Canton


Would love to have a real OC at NE with the ability to develop and expand MJ's pass catching role.

Size wise....
Marcus Jones 5'8" 185lbs (Note Deion Sanders 6'1" 195lbs)
An incher shorter than Welker but same weight
Edelman 5'10" 195lbs
Troy Brown 5'10 196lbs

Better comparison
Darrell Green
5’9” 184lbs

People are underselling Jones’ ability as a cover CB. He’s very good everywhere: slot & boundary. He could develop into a shutdown CB, his other assets notwithstanding.

This guy would’ve been a top-5 pick if he was 2-3 inches taller. His only limitation is his height/length, but he’s pretty good despite that.

We got a really good one, folks.

Marcus Jones Has Become Patriots' Version Of Deion Sanders

Rookie Marcus Jones' emergence as a three-way weapon for the New England Patriots has placed him in rare company.

I'm sorry did you just compare Jones to the greatest defensive back of all time, Neon Deion? uhhh, I'm OUT!!

Look I was one of the first people to praise the Marcus Jones selection in the 3rd round this year. I loved his versatility as both a cornerback and kick returner. I was the least worried about the Marcus Jones pick because I knew he'd find a role on the team somewhere.

But comparing him to all-time great hall of fame corners when he hasn't even completed a full season yet? Lets SLOW DOWN a minute first before we order his bronze bust for Canton!

Somehow we held Davante Adams to nothing while we were missing Jack Jones and Jalen Mills.

I admit it crossed my mind late that Marcus Jones and Jon Jones had done a fantastic job.

It's probably more to do with David Carr being so horribly bad and inept.

Still, it's impressive. Marcus had an excellent breakup of a bomb to Adams early. He was also in excellent position on the Raiders final TD. That was just an excellent catch. The kind a receiver like Agholor struggles to make.

Heck of a game today. Unfortunately overshadowed.

Looks like we hit it big with this guy though

Going to be a great player if he stays healthy. He’s got everything except height: speed, quickness, desire, competitiveness, and elite athleticism.
