Mac Jones Impressing Teammates, Coaches
4 years agoNew England Patriots first-round quarterback Mac Jones, who was taken 15th overall in last month's draft, has made a favorable impression on his teammates and coaches during organized team activities. "He has a swag to him that I didn't know that he had at first," receiver Kendrick Bourne said. "He's out there confident, and that is what you need in a quarterback. Good energy, awesome guy, comes to work and you just can feel his energy and leadership already." Jones worked behind Cam Newton, who is the team's top option under center, on Thursday. Newton is expected to be the starting QB come Week 1, but if he's injured or falters at all, the Pats could turn to Jones quickly if he proves he's ready. The pure pocket passer won't offer anything with his legs, making him less interesting in the long term for fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues.
