ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- It began out of frustration. Marvin Jones was in Costa Rica and tried communicating with the staff at the resort where he was staying. It wasn’t going well. They couldn’t understand each other.
Jones is a communicator, one of the more loquacious players on the Detroit Lions roster. He’s willing to converse with just about anyone -- as long as he can actually speak with them.
The failure to communicate led Jones to a journey that has lasted over a year, with increased intensity over the past six months.
