Heading into his third season, Mac Jones has found out firsthand what it’s like to follow Tom Brady as quarterback of the Patriots.
He’s not Brady’s direct successor. That’s former MVP Cam Newton, who Jones later beat out for the starting job.
Nonetheless, Jones knows what it’s like to step into the shoes of a legend. He was asked after practice on Wednesday if he had any advice for Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
Love is replacing four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers who signed with the Jets in the offseason.
“I think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL,” Jones said.
