Allen Park — Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones is a man of many talents. When he’s not hauling in deep passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford, you might find Jones in the recording studio in his basement, laying down some soulful R&B tracks with a voice that landed him a shot at “American Idol.”

He and his wife Jazmyn also just opened up a new business, a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise in Troy.

But all of all the things in Jones’ life, he takes the most pride in being a father to his four young children, Marvin III, 9; Mareon, 6; Murrell, 3; and Mya, 1.
