Former Patriots running back Kevin Faulk had a first-hand look at how good Patriots rookie Mac Jones could be when the quarterback was at the University of Alabama.
Faulk, who’s coached at Louisiana State University since 2018, watched Jones tear the Tigers apart last season. Jones completed 20-of-28 passes and threw for 385 yards and four touchdowns in Alabama’s 55-17 rout over LSU.
While Jones’s performance that day was bad for Faulk’s current professional home, Faulk believes it’s one of the many reasons why his old employer made the right pick in the first round of this year’s draft.
