Marcus Jones is giving the New England Patriots a dimension: speed.
The rookie from Houston, whose punt return for a touchdown rocked the New York Jets, made his first appearance on the field as an offensive player for the Patriots on Thursday against the Buffalo Bills.
He wound up in the end zone, again.
Mac Jones faked a handoff to Rhamondre Stevenson and whipped a pass to Jones.
He knew what to do with it once he caught it, racing 48 yards to paydirt.
The Patriots led 7-3 after the PAT.

He played some receiver in his senior year as a Cougar. He caught 10 passes for 109 yards and one TD with Houston last year.
In 2018 at Troy, Jones had 5 grabs for 28 yards.
