New England Patriots rookie wide receiver DeMario Douglas has been turning heads since the start of training camp.
However, his early success on the practice field is not the first time he has been regarded in such a positive light. Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who is originally from the same hometown in Jacksonville, heard stories about Douglas long before the two became teammates in New England.
“Pop Shotta, that’s my guy,” said Jones. “He’s a great kid, works really hard. … He’s actually from my hometown. He’s kind of a legend down in Jacksonville.
