Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones had a good first preseason game, and even Cam Newton — whose job Jones is trying to take — was impressed.
Newton said after the game that Jones approached him before the game wanting some advice about his first live NFL action, and Newton was impressed, as he has been through training camp, with how seriously Jones takes his job.
“He came and talked to me, and we talked it out about just his expectation. Every young quarterback goes through it — the excitement, the anticipation,” Newton said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.
