Four months into his professional career, the label remains intact.
Mac Jones is a victory magnet.
He won in high school football (and high school soccer) at Bolles, reaching Florida High School Athletic Association finals in two sports. He won a national college football championship at Alabama.
So far, the Jacksonville native is off to a winning start with the New England Patriots, including a seven-game midseason win streak (snapped Dec. 18 by the Indianapolis Colts) that's moved the Patriots into prime playoff position entering Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Compared to his rivals in the much-ballyhooed quarterback class of 2021, including the Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence, Jones has adapted more smoothly to the NFL game by most measures.
