Mac Jones Became AFC Hero At NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown

Mac Jones did his job at the NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown.

The New England Patriots quarterback, who was named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate in his rookie year, was selected to participate in three events at Thursday’s NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown: the Precision Passing event, which tasks players with throwing to moving targets, and Thread The Needle in which players have to throw passes through targets. He also was chosen to play on the AFC’s “Epic Dodgeball” team.

He struggled in the Precision Passing event — scoring just nine points to the 29 racked up by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
