Mac Jones doesn’t have the strongest arm, nor will he be the fastest player — or even quarterback — on the field during New England Patriots training camp. But he has one asset that sets him apart from other players at his position, according to his former offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, now the coach of the Texas Longhorns.
“He certainly has all the tools to be successful, but if you asked me what I think his best trait is, I’d say his preparation,” Sarkisian said after the draft. “Having spent four years at Alabama, preparing and playing for games at the highest level, he really learned a lot about the value of preparation, and through his preparation he was able to go out and perform week in and week out at an extremely high level.
