Mac Jones may not have been perfect in his first ever NFL game, or encountered the same challenges he will come across in a more competitive setting, but he still looked pretty good. Being on the field for six drives during the New England Patriots’ preseason opener against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night, he showed why the team invested a first-round draft pick in him earlier this offseason.
Playing primarily, but not exclusively, with the team’s depth options along the offensive line and at the skill positions, Jones completed 13 of 19 passing attempts for 87 yards.
