ESPN’s Todd McShay compares Mac Jones to this former No. 1 overall pick

Mac Jones has garnered a lot of attention throughout this offseason.

The No. 15 overall pick won the starting role for the New England Patriots, ultimately leading to the release of Cam Newton. Jones was Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded rookie quarterback following the preseason — which is a huge feat considering the talent surrounding him in the draft.

Jones was originally projected to be drafted with the No. 3 pick by the San Francisco 49ers, but he fell drastically considering his potential. In ESPN’s Mike Reiss’ recent column, he noted Todd McShay’s thoughts about Jones the loaded draft class at quarterback.
