New England Patriots star Mac Jones defended himself against accusations he is a dirty player after he took out Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Eli Apple with a low hit.
The second-year quarterback told reporters Wednesday "the biggest thing for me is focusing on being the best teammate I can be, and earning the respect of the people in this building and the people I care about":
"Obviously, I have respect for everybody around the league. It takes a lot to get to this league. There's really good players out there, and we're all playing hard and trying to win.
