Running back Kevin Jones, a one-time first-rounder who was cut earlier this year by the Detroit Lions, conducted a pre-draft-style workout on Saturday to show that he still has it.
If he does, only four teams were there to witness it.
Per the AP, the Dolphins, Packers, Steelers, and, well, the Lions sent representatives to view what Jones can do.
The Browns also reportedly called to ask for a video of the session.
Jones previously visited with the Patriots.
The problem is that, unless Jones lands with a team where he will be one of the top two tailbacks, he’ll occupy a slot on the depth chart that ordinarily entails playing special teams.

@Nikos - Actually I think he is a *BAD* fit for New England. You said it yourself, Maroney and Morris are both injury prone. Do we really need another injury prone running back on our roster. I expect Maroney to turn in a solid season this year, Morris to pick up short yardage between Evans, and Faulk to be third down. Between the four of them, they should have an adequate running attack. They simply do not have room for another back. Especially since they typically carry three tight ends.
