Some New England Patriots fans might be willing to give Mac Jones the benefit of the doubt. His NFL opponents? Not so much.
New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner brought the "Is Mac Jones a dirty player?" conversation back into the spotlight Sunday when he accused the Patriots quarterback of hitting him in his "private parts" after a QB sneak. Gardner even posted a video of the incident on social media, and while evidence is anything but clear, the NFL reportedly is looking into Gardner's allegations.
Meanwhile, several NFL players responded to Gardner's post on X (formerly known as Twitter) criticizing Jones, who has developed somewhat of a reputation after a pair of incidents in 2021 and 2022 that his opponents viewed as dirty.
