Not only is Mac Jones the second coming of Tom Brady. The New England Patriots rookie quarterback also has a little bit of Aaron Rodgers in him.
Obviously, we’re joking. It’s premature to make any definitive conclusions. But the hype surrounding Jones through just two NFL games is reaching a fever pitch, with various evaluations and stats painting the 23-year-old QB in a positive light.
Take the following stat that NFL Media’s Michael Giardi shared Wednesday on Twitter, for instance:
Mac Jones is the 1st QB since at least 1950 with 30+ pass attempts & a 70+ completion % in each of his first 2 career starts.
