Mac Jones looked impressive in Pro Bowl skills showdown challenge

Mac Jones’ offseason is starting strong.

He represents the New England Patriots as an alternate quarterback for the American Football Conference (AFC) in the Pro Bowl.

Jones earned the opportunity after tossing for 3,801 yards and 22 touchdowns. He helped the Patriots to the playoffs at 10-7 and recorded seven games with a passer rating of 100 or higher. National media pundits questioned his arm strength during the 2021 NFL Draft process, but Jones looked impressive in Thursday’s Pro Bowl skills showdown. He won the “Thread the Needle” challenge for the AFC. Jones ripped balls through holes against two of the best cornerbacks in the National Football League.
