The quarterback position is a unique one in the game of football because it finds itself on the intersection of physical, mental and leadership ability like no other. If a QB does not bring all three of them to the table, he will not find consistent success in the NFL.
Whether or not Mac Jones can do that remains to be seen, but the New England Patriots’ first-round draft pick appears to be off to a good start.
Jones has showcased his arm talent by throwing some pin-point passes in training camp and preseason, and he appears to be adapting well to life within one of the most complex offensive systems in the league.
