Jones Jr. excited about the Lions' passing attack

The Detroit Lions ranked seventh in scoring offense last season and sixth in passing despite there being no real threat of a run game to opponents.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford ranked third in passing yards (4,446) and fourth in touchdowns (29). He threw to a pair of 1,000-yard receiving teammates in Marvin Jones Jr. and Golden Tate.

With Stafford, Jones, Tate, receiver Kenny Golladay, tight end Eric Ebron and running back Theo Riddick all under contract next season, Jones thinks Detroit’s passing attack can be something really special.
