Patriots
Patriots OC Bill O’Brien expressed confidence in QB Mac Jones despite losing the starting job.
“I feel good about Mac Jones. I really do. I think Mac Jones is a smart guy. He’s a very hard worker. He’s really done a good job in this situation here of being a good teammate. Look, these are things that happen in the course of a lot of careers. You have some ups and downs. He’s approached it the right way. I believe in Mac. I think Mac is going to be just fine,” O’Brien said, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
