Mac Jones’s pros and cons were quite clear when he entered the NFL and was drafted by the Patriots in 2021.
The Alabama product was viewed as a good decision maker who was accurate with his passes, but lacked impressive physical traits that led talent evaluators to question just how high his ceiling might be.
After an impressive 2021 season that saw Jones lead all rookies in the major passing stats, the Patriots’ quarterback hit up someone who coached a former Patriots quarterback. Throwing coach Tom House shared with NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry on the “Next Pats Podcast” that he had the same initial impression of Jones when he began to work with him this offseason.
