Josh McDaniels ‘really fortunate’ to have spent final season with Patriots alongside Mac Jones

Mac Jones nears his sophomore NFL season without the offensive coordinator he won 10 games alongside as a rookie.

But Josh McDaniels, named head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in January, expects the 23-year-old quarterback to navigate through the New England Patriots’ turnover.

“Mac’s a great kid,” McDaniels told reporters during his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Wednesday. “Again, I don’t know the situation, what is or isn’t going on anywhere else, but Mac’s a great kid. He works extremely hard. I was really fortunate to have a chance to coach him.
