Mac Jones did not look like a quarterback making his NFL debut in the Patriots’ Week 1 clash with the Dolphins.
New England ultimately fell one point short of defeating Miami, but Jones looked the part under center. The Alabama product was calm in the pocket and sharp with his throws, going 29-39 for 281 yards and a touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor. He fumbled early in the game, but Jones bounced back and thrived from that point on, showcasing his poise for all to see.
Jones’ performance naturally caught the eye of Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich while preparing to take on the Patriots this weekend.
