Count Drew Bledsoe among those believing that the New England Patriots’ current starting quarterback still has a bright future ahead of him.
Despite coming off a disappointing season, Bledsoe, himself a former Patriots QB and member of the team’s Hall of Fame, sees considerable potential in Mac Jones. Appearing on the Off The Pike podcast, the 51-year-old even went as far as to state his belief that Jones has what it takes to become a “franchise quarterback.”
“First of all, he’s very well-respected in the locker room and the organization,” Bledsoe said, as transcribed by MassLive’s Chris Mason.
