Marcus Jones

Monday Night Countdown just did a fantastic segment on Coog great, Marcus Jones! He’s having one heck of a season for the Patriots and is in line to be first team all pro!

Though I am upset the crew had no clue where he went to college :expressionless:

I’m watching it now, it’s mainly about his film making career and documentary of his life on and off the field.

BTW, he is this years Patriot’s nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

I thought he was trying to be a singer or go into music.

It’s still cool to see him get some recognition. He’s also going to be the Patriots representative for the Art Rooney Award for Sportsmanship!

Tbf - Marcus Jones got recruited during the weird COVID lockdowns & the awkward start of NIL, so the attention was focused on other things. Remember, he was still part of the last few batches of players that had to sit out 1yr after transferring in.

But it sucks that they couldn’t do their basic research and getting that factoid correctly.

He won my fantasy matchup for me once again. Could be tough next week when the Patriots have their off week.

NFL.com’s summary of Jones’ night (and season so far):

Jones is heading toward postseason honors. If Marcus Jones was merely spending his game days as a slot corner, he’d be having a quality season. He ranks 14th in coverage grade among all cornerbacks, per Pro Football Focus, and has made some crucial plays in Patriots wins (see: Jones’ interception of  Josh Allen  in Week 5, or his pick-six treatment of  Joe Flacco  in Week 12). That wouldn’t tell Jones ’ entire story, though, and Monday night was a reminder of how valuable the former Bill Belichick draft selection has become for New England in 2025. Jones ’ 94-yard punt return touchdown gave the Patriots an early 10-0 lead that felt as if New England had jumped on the Giants’ backs as soon as they exited the Gillette Stadium tunnel. It was Jones’ second punt return touchdown of 2025, moving him into a tie with Titans rookie  Chimere Dike  in an incredibly tight battle for the lead among all punt returners (Jacksonville’s  Parker Washington  is also close behind in yards and has as many punt return touchdowns). The difference, though, is how Jones has played a key role on defense for the AFC East-leading Patriots. He’s going to end up with a Pro Bowl nod and just might earn his second All-Pro selection, too.
