Mac Jones has been down that road. A highly-touted prospect coming out of the University of Alabama, he was selected 15th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Now, the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback is using his experience to support his successor with the Crimson Tide. Bryce Young, a candidate to get selected with the No. 1 pick this year, has consulted Jones among others to help him get ready for the draft.
Speaking to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, Young shed some light on his connection with Jones.
“I talked to a good amount of guys to prepare myself as much as I can for the next level and for this process,” he said.
