FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rookie Mac Jones commented publicly for the first time since being named the New England Patriots' starting quarterback, saying he plans to remain in contact with Cam Newton and wasn't surprised he won the job.
"He was a really good mentor to me. I know we'll stay in touch. Ever since I came here, he knew I was here to help him and he was here to help me, so I never felt like we were butting heads or anything like that," Jones said on sports radio WEEI's "Merloni and Fauria" program.
