Kendrick Bourne takes praise of Patriots QB Mac Jones to another level

In case you haven't heard, Mac Jones' teammates think very highly of the New England Patriots rookie quarterback.

Jones has received consistent praise from fellow Patriots players throughout the season, and with good reason: He's just the 13th rookie quarterback in NFL history to start at least 10 games and guide his team to the playoffs in his first season.

Jones has endured far fewer growing pains than most rookie signal-callers while putting up some impressive numbers, including a 67.6% completion rate (eighth-best in the NFL), 3,540 passing yards and 21 passing touchdowns, the most by any rookie QB in Patriots franchise history.
