Patriots Host Kevin Jones on Free Agent Visit

According to Adam Schefter, the Patriots hosted free agent running back Kevin Jones on a visit last week:

Last week, New England very quietly hosted a visit -– and no team can do things as quietly as the Patriots — with former Lions running back Kevin Jones, whom Detroit released in March.

Jones appears to be a couple of months away from recovering from the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered late last season, but he is far enough along that the Patriots brought him in for a look.

I think it would be a great decision to sign Jones.  Yes, he is coming off injury.  However, he still has great potential, and at 5′11″, 225 lbs, could be the perfect compliment to Laurence Maroney.
