ESPN's Todd McShay makes comparison between Mac Jones, Joe Burrow

The New England Patriots took a chance on Alabama quarterback Mac Jones by selecting him with the No. 15 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and so far, the results have been encouraging.

Jones impressed during training camp practices, joint practices versus the Eagles and Giants, as well as the three preseason games.

His performance was good enough to win the starting quarterback job over veteran Cam Newton, who was released by the Patriots last week.

One scenario that would be great for the Patriots is if Jones plays as well as Joe Burrow did for the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
