Former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis was a fan of Mac Jones in the leadup to the NFL Draft. Months later, with Jones now in New England and a couple of impressive preseason games under his belt, Weis isn’t taking a victory lap yet, but he’s not surprised by what Jones is doing.
In his first two preseason games, Jones has completed 26 of 38 passes for 233 yards. While he hasn’t thrown a touchdown, Jones has led the Patriots to a score in five of the 10 drives he’s played in (one of which was a kneel down to end the first half).
