Former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky has been one of the more vocal supporters of Mac Jones, even amid this miserable 2-6 start to the Patriots season.
Orlovsky has regularly taken the Patriots to task for their lack of weapons and support around Jones in his third season in the NFL, drawing criticism last month by stating that the New England QB would be “playing like Brock Purdy” if he was on a roster as loaded as the 49ers.
Of course, even if Orlovsky believes that Jones has the makeup to be a successful quarterback in the NFL, he has also been willing to call him out when his mechanics and execution have been out of sorts — revealing last week that he regularly texts Jones to discuss things like his footwork.
