Plyler on Jones: "I can't remember a player being a clone to another player like Jones is to Chansi Stuckey. Everything Stuckey gives you Marquan is the exact replica. At the shrine bowl, it was obvious he is so smooth in his routes. He is one of the rare athletes that make everything look really easy. You can tell he is very well coached. He knows how to run routes and come out of the routes and he also catches the ball extremely well."
