The New England Patriots selected Alabama quarterback Mac Jones with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
Jones hasn't been a Patriot for two months yet as the team goes through offseason workouts, but he appears to be the player that the Pats "thought they were getting" when they took the Crimson Tide signal-caller in the first round.
Albert Breer wrote in MMQB on Monday:
"While we're talking rookie quarterbacks, Mac Jones' progress is worth noting.
"And the feedback I’ve gotten on Jones is that he's what the Patriots thought they were getting when they took him 15th—which is to say he's a heady field general, if somewhat limited physically.
