FOXBORO, Mass. — Mac Jones lost his favorite target when the New England Patriots let Jakobi Meyers walk in free agency. Time will tell whether Meyers’ replacement, JuJu Smith-Schuster, will be able to replicate that connection.
The relationship between Jones and his potential new No. 1 wideout is off to a promising start, however, according to the Patriots quarterback.
Jones said he and Smith-Schuster have bonded over their love of football since the latter signed with New England in March.
“I think JuJu’s done a great job, also from a leadership standpoint,” Jones said after Wednesday’s organized team activities practice outside Gillette Stadium.
