How Patriots Rookie QB Mac Jones Is Handling Increasing Hype

Mac Jones thus far is the best rookie quarterback to come out of the 2021 NFL Draft, a sentiment that’s backed up by his 14 touchdowns, 2,540 passing years and 70.2% completion percentage entering Week 12.

Jones will increase those numbers from here on out with the New England Patriots. So, how does the Alabama product remain level-headed? It can’t be easy when you have a fan base as strong as New England’s hyping you up following the footsteps of legend Tom Brady.

“I try not to go on social media or anything like that, so I don’t really pay attention to a lot of it,” Jones said during an interview on Friday’s “Patriots All-Access,” as transcribed by Boston.
