There was one throw that was really working for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones on Day 1 of training camp Wednesday. With New England lining up within the 10-yard line for all of its 11-on-11 drills, Jones had little room to work with but found a soft spot by targeting his receivers in the back corner of the end zone. And twice, Jones found Nelson Agholor.
The rookie quarterback finished 9 of 19 for the practice during 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 competitive drills. Cam Newton, Jones’ top competition for the QB1 job, finished 8 of 15 with two interceptions.
