Eric Mangini seems to believe we should pump the brakes when it comes to the hype for the Patriots’ rookie quarterback.
Buzz surrounding Mac Jones grew Wednesday when the first-year signal-caller shined in a joint practice with the Giants while Cam Newton was sidelined due to a COVID-19 protocol “misunderstanding.” Jones’ performance in the training session shouldn’t be totally overlooked, but Mangini isn’t putting a ton of stock in it.
“The Giants defense looks a lot like the New England defense, so there’s a little bit more familiarity,” Mangini said Friday on “The Greg Hill Show,” as transcribed by WEEI.
