Mac Jones still has a strong supporter in New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Speaking with reporters Monday at the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix, Kraft expressed his confidence and Jones and said the team did not put the 24-year-old quarterback in the best position to succeed last season.
“I’m a big fan of Mac,” Kraft told reporters. “He came to us as a rookie, he quarterbacked his rookie season and did a very fine job, I thought. We made the playoffs. I think we experimented with some things last year that frankly didn’t work when it came to him, in my opinion, and I think we made changes (this offseason) that I think put him in a good position to excel.
