The only time Mac Jones can remember visiting Boston, he nearly lost his foot.
The former Alabama quarterback told reporters via Zoom on Thursday that he was boarding a cruise out of Boston 10 years ago, and one of his Crocs got stuck on an escalator.
“Kind of crazy,” Jones said, chuckling.
Jones will have plenty of (presumably) less harrowing opportunities to visit Boston soon — on Thursday, the Patriots selected him with the No. 15 pick in the NFL Draft, ending a somewhat surprising draft-night slide. Jones was projected to go in the top three by many mock drafts, and the Patriots were expected to explore moving up to acquire one of the five first-round quarterbacks.
