Patriots’ TE Jonnu Smith raves about Mac Jones’ character and intangibles “so much dog in him”

Mac Jones delivered a promising rookie season and led the New England Patriots to the playoffs in 2021.

He led all rookie quarterbacks for passing yards (3,801) and finished 13th in the National Football League among all signal-callers. Jones set franchise rookie records for the Patriots in passing yards and touchdowns (22) while having two 300-yard performances and eight games with 2+ touchdown passes. He made his first Pro Bowl and guided AFC to a 41-35 victory.

Jones has looked great during the offseason.

The 6-foot-3, 217-pounder dropped weight, bulked up, and has more command of New England’s offense.
