Mac Jones was not the most athletic quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was the most polished — and he proved that against the Cleveland Browns.
Jones pieced apart the Cleveland secondary with surgical precision, threading passes through tight coverage and double-teams en route to his finest day as a pro. The rookie was the driving force as the New England Patriots dismantled the Browns so thoroughly CBS switched its national broadcast to a different game before the third quarter even ended. He wrapped up a 45-7 blowout with 198 passing yards and three touchdowns in a zero-turnover day.
