Former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis gives ringing endorsement of Mac Jones

Charlie Weis has a no-brainer option in mind for the Patriots’ next quarterback.

The former Patriots offensive coordinator is all in on Alabama quarterback Mac Jones. On his SiriusXM NFL Radio show, Weis gave Jones, who is projected to be one of the top five quarterback prospects in April’s draft, a ringing endorsement.

“What are the two most important components of a star quarterback?” Weis said, via ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss. “They have the ‘it’ factor. And they’re accurate. That’s who he was.”

Of the quarterbacks considered to be the first five selected, Jones has consistently ranked last in the group by draft evaluators.
