Fairly or not, Mac Jones is the face of the New England Patriots’ struggles this year. Playing some of the worst football of his career, the third-year quarterback has had an active hand in his team’s 2-8 start.
His role as the Patriots’ starting quarterback is therefore in question, as is his status as a team leader. However, in light of a report that a “vast majority” of players might have lost faith in Jones, one teammate was emphatic in his support.
Appearing on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show on Thursday, linebacker Jahlani Tavai claimed that the Patriots locker room still has Jones’ back.
