Devin McCourty indicates QB controversy extended into the locker room

Former New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty had an interesting nugget about the quarterback room last year, as Mac Jones gets set to enter his third year.

McCourty indicated some players preferred rookie Bailey Zappe over Jones.

Zappe filled in for Jones while the latter was recovering from injury. The Western Kentucky product threw for 781 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions during his time as a starter.

Zappe last played against the Chicago Bears last October, as Jones struggled throughout the evening. From there, a quarterback controversy ensued between fans and media with some fans preferring Zappe over Jones.
