Video: ESPN’s Ryan Clark Says Mac Jones Has Some Of The Greatest Intangibles We Have Ever Seen In A Quarterback



During his playing days Ryan Clark was a hater of the Patriots. He is still not very fond of them, but Mac Jones has opened his eyes with his impressive rookie season. Ryan Clark doesn’t let his dislike for the Patriots organization get in the way though as he speaks from the heart, and his analysis is usually spot on.

On ESPN’s ‘Get Up’ morning show the former Steeler defensive back had some amazing comments about Mac Jones.

“You have a quarterback who’s dang-near not allowing the football to hit the ground,” Clark began. “It looks like when you’re playing flag football and the coach’s son is the quarterback.

“Mac Jones is playing at an extremely high level and he’s doing everything that you need to do to win football games. … Mac Jones has some stuff in him, some intangibles that I think are maybe the greatest we’ve ever seen from a quarterback. Now, it doesn’t mean he has the strongest arm, it doesn’t mean that he’s the fastest, but from (the) neck up, I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a rookie that is better. It’s showing every day that he takes snaps on the field.”

Jones has 2,540 passing yards and 14 touchdowns through his first 11 starts. He’s completing 70.2% of his passes and averaging 7.3 yards per attempt, with 8 interceptions. The 15th overall pick leads all rookie quarterbacks in touchdown passes and passing yards.
