The primary focus for us this year was to get Marcus healthy and ready as a cornerback and a punt returner," said head coach Jerod Mayo. "How much time do we want to spend on gadget plays? He's most valuable on the defensive side of the ball and punt return." Mayo emphasized that despite Jones' interest in offensive plays, the team's strategy this season prioritized his health and performance in defense and special teams roles.
Marcus Jones had a successful rookie season with four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown, prompting him to express interest in playing offense again. Despite this, head coach Mayo reiterated that the focus remains on utilizing Jones primarily as a cornerback and punt returner, stating that 'everyone in this building knows what he can do', implying a consensus on his role within the team.
