Lions coach Dan Campbell, formerly a Miami assistant and interim coach in 2015, had a witty take on Jones’ departure at the annual league meeting in March.
“It’s funny, but we get him from Miami and he goes back to Miami. So, well, you’re getting a better player, so I’m glad we could help and develop him,” Campbell said with a smile.
The Dan Campbell-Lions effect:
“What’s cool to see with Benito, how he’s grown, is his understanding of different blocks and he’s played in different schemes,” Clark said. “I think he did a great job in Detroit last year, and we were fired up to get him back. From a maturity level standpoint, in how he practices and he operates, has been great so far.”
