Mac Jones Is Making The Most Of His Opportunity With An Amazing Practice Session Against The Giants
With Cam Newton sidelined, Mac Jones has been given the opportunity to get all the first team reps at practice this week and he is making his case to win the starting job.
Jones was fantastic during a joint practice with the New York Giants this morning.
Mac completed 25 of 27 passes including 18 consecutive completions before his streak was broken by a tipped pass. Mac also threw back to back touchdowns.
I know it is early, but Mac is looking like he is more than capable to lead this team in his rookie season. Dare I say he has even shown shades of a young Tom Brady with his accuracy to this point. With rumors already circulating that the Patriots are not exactly thrilled with Cam’s absense, it wouldn’t be a shocker if Mac ends up winning the job out of camp if he can continue playing like this.
Mac was already at a 71.4% completion rate prior to today.

"Mac Jones show."

Patriots QB Mac Jones was fantastic today in a joint practice with the Giants. I had him a combined 48-of-55 in 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s with Cam Newton out. The rookie stepped up big against New York. His best play was a long TD to Jakobi Meyers down the left sideline.
