Normally, this sort of thing is met with an eye roll, but Jones-Drew was absolutely worth a first round pick for most of his career. If you’re using standard scoring (1 point per 10 yards rushing or receiving, 0.5 points per reception, and 6 points for a touchdown) here’s how his season-by-season results would have gone:
2006: 256 points
2007: 196 points
2008: 197 points
2009: 298.5 points
2010: 191 points
2011: 247.5 points
2012: 68 points
2013: 162.5 points
2014: 21.5 points
Here’s to you, Maurice. Now go celebrate with a plate of nachos.
