Marvin Jones working out with Lions rookie WR Quintez Cephus

Veteran Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones is doing what he can to help ease the transition for rookie Quintez Cephus. Jones, who recently turned 30, posted on his Instagram story that he’s been working out with the team’s fifth-round pick in California.

Jones noted he and Cephus, as well as fellow Lions WR Victor Bolden, are working out together during the coronavirus pandemic quarantine.

Presumably, Jones is helping his young teammates get up to speed on the offense, as well as the expectations of route-running and catching passes from QB Matthew Stafford. It’s a good sign of veteran leadership from Jones, who is entering the final year of his contract in Detroit.
