The 2021 NFL Draft was nearly six months ago but we’re going to take a trip back in time because of the New Orleans Saints‘ matchup this weekend. NOLA is squaring off against the Patriots, who took Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick.
Why is this relevant, you ask?
Well, for those of you who closely followed the Saints’ draft, you’ll know that this team was interested in drafting Jones. Nathan Beighle of Who Dat Dish wrote about this while it was happening and took a quote from Mike Lombardi discussing the situation in that article.
