Many teams in the NFL may view a 5-foot-8, 175-pound player as an outlier. The New England Patriots, however, now have two players with those exact same measurables.
After using one of their sixth-round selections in this past weekend’s NFL Draft on wide receiver Demario Douglas, he will now team up with a player with the exact same size in Marcus Jones. The receiver is quite aware of Jones’ game, noting he has watched him “from afar since college” due to their similarities in height.
“He plays everywhere,” Douglas said in his introductory conference call.
