Mac Jones has inspired optimism in New England since overtaking Cam Newton for the Patriots' starting quarterback job. Among those excited to watch the 2021 first-round pick is former NFL QB Doug Flutie.
Flutie, who played for the Patriots from 1988-89 and in 2005, is impressed with what Jones brings to the table both on and off the field. He explained why he believes the decision to start the rookie over Newton will pay off for the Patriots this season.
"Mac Jones and I actually, last year at the Super Bowl, wound up matching up head-to-head in a cornhole competition," Flutie told NECN's Jackie Bruno.
