The Lions parted way with another first-round pick by cutting ties with Kevin Jones earlier this off-season. Jones' short career has been overshadowed by a series of injuries and new offensive coordinator Jim Colletto wanted to change directions.
"I know the NFL will be shocked,'' Dr. D.S. Ping, who is
spearheading Jones' rehab work, told MLive.com. "He can go into (training) camp right
now. All he needs is football conditioning. They told him it'd be a
year and he's ready now.''
Just five months removed from reconstruction surgery on his right knee,
former Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones turned in an amazing
workout before a couple of reporters on Thursday. Check out the video below to watch is amazing workouts.
The Titans and Patriots have both expressed interest. Where ever Jones winds up, he will only be able to share carries at best. However, he could be worth a late-round flyer that could pan out big for fantasy owners given the right situation. He has a workout scheduled for June 28 and at that point we could see him with a new home. Keep your eyes on this as the summer progresses.
