Marvin Jones Defends Matt Patricia from Criticism: 'It's Football. We Run'

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones defended head coach Matt Patricia's coaching techniques during an interview with NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Thursday.

Last week, Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press wrote an opinion piece on Patricia potentially "losing his players." Monarrez noted that Patricia has made players run after committing mistakes in OTAs and minicamp.

According to NFL.com's Kevin Patra, Jones shot down the criticism of Patricia, saying, "Shoot, it's football. We run. You know what I'm saying? Nobody is complaining. Everybody is just going out here working hard and we're having fun doing it.
