3 reasons the Buffalo Bills should target Marcus Jones in middle rounds

Special Teams Ace

Playing defense is not what Jones does best despite being a Top 10 cornerback prospect in this draft class. I mentioned before that Houston experimented with him at wide receiver, and that is because this guy is dynamite with the ball in his hands. Jones is perhaps the best college return man in recent memory, and his return ability has drawn comparisons to the Human Joystick Dante Hall.

Jones returned kicks and punts and put up nine career return touchdowns, with some incredibly gaudy numbers his senior year. Jones got 41 return opportunities between kicks and punts in his senior season and ran four back for touchdowns, including a game-winning 100-yard return with 30 seconds left against SMU. Jones averaged a ridiculous 34 yards per kick return, and 15 yards per punt return his last season. In his time at Houston, Jones scored twice as many touchdowns (6) as he allowed in coverage (3).

Being so close to a championship, the Buffalo Bills need help any way they get it, and few guys can help them in more areas than Marcus Jones can.
