Tom Brady isn’t the only quarterback playing this Sunday.
Patriots rookie Mac Jones just wrapped up his first month as an NFL starting quarterback. On paper, the results don’t look too great. He’s thrown for 737 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions while going 1-2 over his first three starts.
But former NFL quarterback Drew Brees has liked what he’s seen so far from the rookie. The quarterback-turned-NBC analyst watched last week’s game closely, in which Jones threw three interceptions in a 28-13 loss to Brees’s former team, the New Orleans Saints.
What stood out to Brees in that game was how Jones did against the pressure the Saints brought throughout the game.
