Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris called out Bill Belichick regarding the way he handled his coaching staff surrounding quarterback Mac Jones during his time with the team.

"What happened to Mac Jones in New England, was not because of Mac Jones," Harris said during a Thursday appearance on The Athletic Football Show (41:35 mark).

"What happened in New England to Mac Jones was because of the fact you took away an offensive coordinator who coached him to be a Pro Bowler and almost coached us to winning our division with a rookie quarterback in his first year," he added.
