It's been a long time since a young quarterback was among the New England Patriots' captains, but Mac Jones has earned the respect of his teammates.
The second-year QB was recently voted by teammates as one of the team's five captains for the 2022 NFL season.
"I think it's really cool," Jones told reporters Wednesday. "I think I have a lot of work to do. I want to become an even better leader.
The starting quarterback is usually among the captains for each team, but Jones didn't receive this honor purely because of his position on the depth chart.
