Marvin Jones displeased with debut season with Lions
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones said of his 2016 season, "in terms of my standards, it wasn't good at all."
"When you look at how I started, you wouldn't think it would end this way," Jones said, having picked up 408 of his 930 receiving yards in his first three games. "Obviously, I had some uncharacteristic drops here and there.... I don't know what to say." Jones is still only 27 (in March), but he's now looked like more of a role player than true top receiver with two different teams. There's no real reason to expect a step forward in 2017.
Among the 68 wide receivers to see at least 100 targets in 2016, Jones's Reception Net Expected Points per target was a solid 15th. We'd hardly call that a bad season.
