Former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis sees a quarterback that checks the two most vital boxes for a prospect, at least by his own estimation.
“What are the two most important components of a star quarterback? They have the ‘it’ factor. And they’re accurate. That’s who he was,” Weis told ESPN.
Of course, Weis’ former team needs a quarterback. The Patriots’ 2020 starter, Cam Newton, is on an expiring one-year contract. He struggled while attempting to replace Tom Brady, the 20-year starter in New England. But Weis isn’t going to tell the Patriots what to do — he’s certainly not going to insist they draft Jones.
