FOXBORO, Mass. — Matthew Slater isn’t an expert on quarterbacking. But he really likes what he’s seen from Mac Jones thus far.
The New England Patriots’ longtime special teams captain was highly complimentary of his team’s rookie signal-caller Tuesday, lauding Jones’ character and ability to command respect within the locker room.
“Well, I think he’s a great young man,” Slater said in a post-practice media session. “Character really counts when you talk about what we do off the football field, the way we carry ourselves. The way we approach our profession. The way we do things in the community.
