"The Patriots' cornerback room has quickly become a strength of their team. Christian Gonzalez is no doubt a star, and the addition of Carlton Davis meant an experienced CB2. Alex Austin had an incredible preseason, and the team also added Charles Woods from waivers, who played twelve games with the L.A. Rams last year. With all the new additions and ascending players, one has stuck out above all the rest: Marcus Jones."
"Part of a 2022 draft class that ended up being a dismal one for the Patriots, Jones has been a star. Initially, his stardom stemmed from his versatility, as he scored in all three phases during his rookie year. He later settled into being a regular part of the defense and eventually the starting slot corner, along with the primary punt returner. This season, he is the league's highest graded punt returner and the second highest graded returner overall."
Marcus Jones has developed into the Patriots' most impactful cornerback, rising above new additions and veterans. Jones transitioned from a versatile rookie who scored in three phases to a consistent defensive starter and the team's primary punt returner. This season he ranks as the league's highest graded punt returner and the second highest graded returner overall. Jones delivered a red-zone interception against the Bills and a standout sequence covering Keon Coleman. Outside corners Carlton Davis and Christian Gonzalez have praised Jones' play. Jones is also in the final year of his contract, making his future status notable.
