Ex-Patriot supports Mac Jones, while throwing shade at Bill Belichick

Former New England Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel has never minced words when it comes to criticizing Patriots coach Bill Belichick, and he was at it again with a recent tweet regarding quarterback Mac Jones.

Jones is entering a pivotal third season, as New England looks to make it out of the cellar of the AFC East. The quarterback struggled last year, throwing for 2,997 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Despite those struggles, Jones still has a lot of believers in his corner, including college commentator Kirk Herbstreit, who has been highly confident in Jones’ ability to have a bounce-back season.
