FOXBORO, Mass. — Add JuJu Smith-Schuster to New England’s growing list of Malik Cunningham admirers.
Smith-Schuster raved about Cunningham on Sunday after the latter led an impressive touchdown drive in his first taste of preseason NFL action.
Cunningham took over at quarterback during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s exhibition opener against the Houston Texans and marched the Patriots 75 yards in 14 plays. The dual-threat undrafted rookie carried five times for 34 yards, completed 3 of 4 passes for 19 yards and capped the drive with a 9-yard touchdown run that featured a highlight-reel juke.
