What jj22 said. I don't hate Marvin Jones at all, just feel he's a bit overrated on here. He had 2 good seasons as a Bengal, and neither were all that impressive. He had a tendency of disappearing for stretches, and he's carried that over to Detroit. He was signed to be a #1 and he hasn't lived up the the billing.
He has 54 yards or less in 14 games (out of 28) as a Lion.
He has 5 games with 1 catch.
He had 9 games in a row without a TD.
In his first 4 games in Detroit, he had 23 catches for 482 yards and 2 TDs

Next 16 games? 46 catches for 632 yards and 4 TDs

Last 8 games? 37 catches for 701 yards and 6 TDs
