ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Like so many others across the world, Marvin Jones tuned into the 100-meter dash at the Rio Olympics on Sunday to see some of the fastest men in the world run. It was a bit more personal for the Detroit Lions receiver, though.
Jones is close with former Lions running back Jahvid Best, who made his Olympics debut for St. Lucia on Saturday in the first round of the 100 meters. And Best, well, he was in the same heat as the eventual gold medalist, Usain Bolt.
"I know everybody that we played with was eyeing him," Jones said.
