Cal's Jones Stands Out At Senior Bowl Practice

MOBILE, Alabama (CBS Sports) -- Making a strong first impression at the Senior Bowl can send a player's stock skyrocketing and boost his rookie contract by millions of dollars.

University of California wide receiver Marvin Jones can't start writing checks just yet but if he continues the sparkling efforts turned in Monday during the North Team practices, he could prove to be a big winner from this year's Senior Bowl.

Jones entered the Senior Bowl with significantly less hype that others at his position. Jones, who measured in at a shade under 6-2 and 200 pounds during the morning weigh-ins, was quick off the snap, showed burst out of his breaks to gain separation and the speed to slip past cornerbacks for big plays. He caught everything thrown his way, showing the hand strength to gather in passes thrown slightly off-target as well as the vision to track deep balls over his shoulder.

But Jones wasn't the only wideout to make eye-popping plays on the day, though he was the most consistent. Click here to READ MORE on other standouts from CBS Sports.
