Mac Jones impressed his former coach

Yost made nice comments about Jones and NFL analysts would agree with him.

“Mac has always wanted to be a Patriot,” he said Saturday on WEEI’s “The Fitzy & Mego Show.” “He was always a huge Tom Brady fan and always emulated Brady.”

Jones has a chance to succeed Brady in New England. TB12 is out of the team now and he is playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Patriots signed Cam Newton to another one-year deal. This doesn’t mean that Newton will stay with the Patriots forever. Jarrett Stidham is still here. Jones will have to stand behind and learn from Newton. Belichick already said that Newton is his quarterback heading into 2021.

There was a really big speculation before the 2021 NFL Draft. Some said that the Patriots may need to trade up to get Jones. He slipped to No.15, but he is definitely a good match for the Patriots.

“I ran into his dad at the hardware store,” Yost said on WEEI. “We talked a lot, and they were really, really wanting to go with the Patriots.”
