1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. Mac, how are you? I guess 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: congratulations are in order? Thank you? Yeah, I'm doing good. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: How about you? Guys? Good, We're doing good. We're doing good. 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. It seems pretty obvious, right, 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: but who who do you get the word from? Is 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: it Bill Belichick? Does he call you in? Does Josh 7 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: talk to you? Who told you that you'd be the 8 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: starting quarterback? Um? Yeah, I think it was just kind 9 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: of just with the team meeting and stuff, and obviously 10 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys, um you know that to 11 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: get rid of and stuff, and it's it's tough day 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: for everybody. So um, just to you know, be in 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: that room and just b b where I'm at right 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: now as a rookie, you just to hear that. Um, 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: it's hard for everybody because you know, there's a lot 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: of teammates on that day that I got let go. 17 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: But um, I'm looking forward. It is a great opportunity 18 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: and it's something that I always wanted to do, is 19 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: be in NFL starting quarterback. But like I said, it 20 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: doesn't really you know, mean much the label as the label, 21 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: but you got to go out and produce and that's 22 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: just kind of what it comes down too. So it 23 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: was in a team setting type of thing. But was 24 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: there any private conversations like afterwards more like inde type 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, I mean, of course, that's um what 26 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: you can assume, and that's kind of how it goes. 27 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: You just want to be on the same page with 28 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: all the coaches and everything and pending a good job 29 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: explaining the entire situation. And you know, a lot of 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: that's private, so UM, it's between me and UM coach 31 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: and all that. So obviously you have to have that conversation. 32 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: And it was good, and you know, I told him 33 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: that it was obviously. You know, it's a great pleasure 34 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: to be named the quarterback. But at the same time, 35 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: I feel like we have a lot of work to do, 36 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: and um, we do, and we're just gonna work every 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: day and UM just kind of stacked the days together. 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Were you surprised, Um, not really. I mean, like I 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: always say, I'd prepare to be the starter and um, 40 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: like every day you come in and um, I got 41 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: a chance to get a lot of reps. So nothing 42 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: really changes. Just trying to be a good teammate, trying 43 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: to learn the plays. Every day and fix what I 44 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: messed up on and listen to Josh and all the 45 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: guys in the quarterback room and just take the advice. 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm like I always has since I've been here, and 47 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: like I said, nothing really changes, so it's exciting. Um yeah, 48 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: well so I listened. You're downplaying and I know because 49 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: but this is a big deal, like because I remember, 50 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: like when I finally became a star in the league, 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: and I remember the first person I called. Who was 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: the first person you called when you found out you 53 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: were going to be the starter of the new New 54 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: England Patriots Opening day? Um, I really didn't use my phone, 55 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: so until I went home, I just called my parents 56 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: and you know, talk to them, and they were obviously excited, 57 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: and they said the same thing. They said, it's really 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: exciting and you're gonna do great and just keep doing 59 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: what you're doing. And they've been supportive all the way through, 60 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: and all all my teammates, my new teammates here have 61 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: been very supportive. So and obviously, um yeah, my family 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: and my girlfriend, so I mean, they were excited for me, 63 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: but they just said keep working because it's it's cool 64 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: title at all, but you just gotta keep doing what 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: I'm doing, things will play out how they're supposed to play. 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: Aff talking to Patriots quarterback Mac Jones and you know, Mac, 67 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: a lot of people and media fans, whatever, they sort 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: of look at that last week, that three days you 69 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: had to prepare for that Giant's joint practice when it 70 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: was just you, and that Wednesday was almost like the 71 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: day you won that job, Like did you is there 72 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: a moment for you or was it just coming out 73 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: of that day you just felt really good. Um yeah, 74 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: I think that was good just to you know, get 75 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: the extra reps and stuff. But I didn't change my 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: mindset or anything like that. And obviously, you know, I 77 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of reps and I felt like I 78 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: did some good things and did some things that I 79 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: could work on. But the moral of the story is 80 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: just trying to keep improving. Um That's what I'm just 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna try. And all we do is just improve on 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: practice days, whether it was a joint practice or not 83 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. The circumstances just get better each day. And 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: um yeah, I think that my teammates a good job 85 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: was just playing doing what they're supposed to do on 86 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: all the practices. And whoever's in the right quarterback. We 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: played a standard and I'm trying to get there and 88 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, there's growth every day and I 89 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: think we're making a lot of steps in the right direction. 90 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: Did um, were you able to have a conversation with 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: Cam Newton upon his release you guys, did he you know, 92 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: offer any words of encouragement or any advice? Um? Yeah, 93 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: I think just with him. Obviously, he was a really 94 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: good mentor to me, and I know we'll stay in touch, 95 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: and um, you know, ever since I came here, he knew, 96 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: but um, I was here to help him and he 97 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: was here to help me, So I never felt like 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: we were budding heads or anything like that. And um, 99 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: obviously Cam's a great guy and he's a great player, 100 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: and hopefully you land somewhere and gets a chance. But 101 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: I definitely learned a lot from him, and I'm excited 102 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: just to keep learning from from Brian and everybody in 103 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback room because they've they've helped me a lot. 104 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: And I think that's something that's unique about here is 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: just everybody's been it together. It's not just a one 106 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: man show. And yeah, so I'm just going to keep 107 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: learning from from whoever I can learn from him be 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: a sponge. Talking to Matt Jones here in the Harbor 109 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: One Hotline and Mac. You know, one of things we 110 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: always talk about Bill Belichick, right is all of these years, 111 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: last twenty one years, so especially here in New England, 112 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: how much success he has had going up against rookie quarterbacks. 113 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: So I'm curious like that knowledge that he has going 114 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: up like how he would attack them. He has he 115 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: sort of passed that along to kind of give you 116 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: some advice how teams might do the same to you, 117 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: just given that he's had success to kind of pass 118 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: on what he would do. Yeah, I think he obviously, 119 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: like he said, coach for a really long time, and 120 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: I just want to take any pointers or tips that 121 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: he has. Obviously is the defensive background. So if I 122 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: ever have a question, always ask him or whoever I 123 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: can ask, just to get the information. And I mean, 124 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: in terms of advice, you just um tells me to 125 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: just focus on what I need to do and kind 126 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: of just block out everything, and um, that's what I'm 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: gonna do this week, and um, we just gotta keep 128 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: getting better. So that's kind of good philosophy is just 129 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: do your job and everything will play out how it's 130 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: supposed to. And that's one of the things that I'm 131 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: trying to focus on is just how can I execute 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: the play whatever it is, Hand the ball off, throw it, 133 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: run it. So it's just what it comes down too. 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, unimproved on that and keep keep working on that. 135 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of talk. Everyone, everyone 136 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: I hear now is talking about how smart you are. 137 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Do you remember what you got on 138 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,559 Speaker 1: the Wonderli Test at the NFL Draft? Did you score 139 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: really high on that? I have no idea. Do you 140 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: remember even taking the test? Yeah? I took it, but 141 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: when we took it, I took it in college and 142 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: we didn't get to take it again, but I wanted 143 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: to take it again because I prepared really hard for it. 144 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I mean I guess I'm smart just 145 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: studying and trying to Yeah. Yeah, well that's that's what 146 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, So, like, how do 147 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: you like what's your learning process? I mean, some guys, 148 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: I remember Doug Flutie, they had nothing, but you know, 149 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: three by five cards had all the plays on three 150 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: by five cards when he came to New England to 151 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: learn the offense. You know, other guys you know or 152 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: just use a different you know, they just wanted just 153 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: replaying it over and over in their head. What is like, 154 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: what have you found that has helped you retain all 155 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: the information because there's a lot, there's a lot there. Yeah, 156 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: I think just um, it's just consistency. So I kind 157 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: of found stuff that works for me. And I've learned 158 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: from a lot of older guys on the team just hey, 159 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: how do you how did you do this? How did 160 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: you learn all these plays? And it just it takes 161 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of time, but I put a lot 162 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: of time and then my first guy here and obviously 163 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: every day I stick to my schedule and I just 164 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: try and break it down and watch film, but also 165 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: focus on the things that we want to do. And 166 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: a lot of times, I'm very visual, so it definitely helps. 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 1: Some people obviously are visual or they learn different ways. 168 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: But for me, I'm just always been a very visual learner. 169 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: That helps to see it, whether it's drawing it or 170 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: walking through it or doing it. So have you recruited 171 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: your girlfriend to help you with the plays? Like does 172 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: she test you at all? Yeah?

Did you have any idea going into 192 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: that night as far as you wouldn't get pasted New 193 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: England or what was that like for you going through that? 194 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: What did you know going into it. Yeah, I think 195 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: just for me, just kind of in college and my 196 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: whole three or so far and stuff is just all 197 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: about patience. And I really didn't know, to be honest, 198 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: I interviewed with a lot of people and stuff, and 199 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: obviously interviewed with the Patriots, and I really didn't know. 200 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: So I knew a lot of teams needed quarterbacks, but 201 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean that's out of my control. I don't get 202 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: to pick myself. So I'm just really glad that I 203 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: did end up here because this system and the coaches 204 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: and support staff is very similar to kind of what 205 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm used to obviously, but also just learning the new 206 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: ways around here. Everything comes from hard work and I'm 207 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: doing the right things every day, so I, um, you know, 208 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: I really am happy to be here and it's gonna 209 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: be great and um draft and I was definitely cool. 210 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Just to be able to do it first of all 211 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: in person in the middle of COVID was cool, and 212 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: obviously with my spending it with my family was awesome, 213 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: and seeing all my teammates from college get picked it 214 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: was really cool too, So I really, um, it was 215 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: a great day. And I think it just goes back 216 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: to patience doing what you know, it's kind of already 217 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: planned out and just being ready for what opportunity. All right, 218 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: So we're talking to Mac Jones on the Harbor One 219 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: hot Line, starting quarterback of the New England Patriots. So Mac, 220 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: um playing against uh year old? I guess you guys 221 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: should get recruited the same year, right, you into a 222 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: tug of iolo? Right, you guys recruited the same year. 223 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is already there, right, Yeah, it was me 224 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: and too came in the same year. Yeah. Now have 225 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: you guys spoken at all since camp has started and 226 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: you know you were named the starter? Um, no, we haven't, 227 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: but um, we've been pretty busy. Yeah, and he doesn't 228 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: really go on his phone that much. I don't really 229 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: go on my phone that much. So I guess we'll 230 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: have to talk about me see each other. But to 231 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: an awesome guy. Um, he's really really a good talented 232 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: football player, and just learning from him from Jalen was 233 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: was great. Obviously, Now that we're all getting a chance 234 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: here in the NFL, I think it'll be coo. We'll 235 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: go up against each other. Do you were you able 236 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: to you know? I guess, uh watch anything that he 237 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: did while you were there, and take any I guess 238 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: um coaching points from it as far as what to do, 239 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: what not to do, as far as how his rookie 240 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: year one, I know, different situation he didn't start the 241 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: first game of the season. Yeah. Um, I mean I 242 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: always watched, you know, a lot of the rookies from 243 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: last year just to see, um, you know, how they 244 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: do and stuff, and I just like to watch tape 245 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: in general. But I think to obviously, um, you know, 246 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: coming off the injury, I can't be easy, and you know, 247 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: being there with him when he was going through rehab 248 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: that was obviously hard. I'm the Alabama that injury had. 249 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, he's obviously made a lot 250 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: of improvements. I'm sure he feels more comfortable, and he's 251 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: always had talent and he always will have talent, and um, 252 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: he worked hard and does all the right things. So 253 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: I think he was, just, like I said, a good 254 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: person to watch. Whether it was just seeing him make 255 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: the play that I know he can make, running around 256 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: and doing all that stuff and making those off script plays. Um, 257 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: it's just good to watch to see him back at 258 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: full help. So talking to Mac Jones here at quarterback 259 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: in the New England Patriots. So, Mac, what one thing 260 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: I'm curious about is like when you're not a Gillette right, 261 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: trying to be the best quarterback you can be.

I saw some clips of your former teammate 275 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: ray Kwon Davis who plays for the Miami Dolphins, and 276 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, they were asking him like, hey, what do 277 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: you see in Mac Jones? And he said, you know, 278 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: really smart and he said that he thinks, meaning you, 279 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: that you're the joker. And they asked him to continue 280 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: and he said, not that you're like a jokester, but 281 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: you're like the character the Joker from the Batman movie. 282 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: He's now I was thinkurally kind of excited because that 283 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: guy's kind of crazy, you know, and he's pretty productive. 284 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean, can you explain that to us at all 285 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: based on well your former teammates said? Yeah, I mean, now, 286 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: it was just a nickname that I got from my laugh. 287 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: But I guess just when ray Klan was there, everyone 288 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: called me the Joker. Well what were you? What were 289 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: you doing for them? They got you the Joker. A 290 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: lot of it stemmed from my last like I laughed 291 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: at my mouth open or whatever. My buddy Richie gave 292 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: it to me, and then they kind of blew it 293 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: out of proportionate. But I mean it's fun of the games. 294 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, so it's not like you're not diabolical, right, No, okay, okay. Hey, 295 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of teammates, the last one for 296 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: me here quick is, um, you know, I don't remember 297 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: back in March, I think it was Jayleen Wattles now 298 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: with the Dolphins, right, Devanta Smith. Both these guys said 299 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: as much as they love too and they would still 300 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: choose you over him. Now, Jayleen Wattle's on the Dolphins. 301 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's taken that back, like, hey, 302 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: I was just kidding too. I love you, but what 303 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: did you What did you make of that? And I 304 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: don't know, do you kind of rub it into his face? 305 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: You guys are friendly? No, No, I don't. I think 306 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: we are all lucky to play with the receivers that 307 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: we played with, and just even watching college football each 308 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: week this weekend, just thinking about how many good guys 309 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: we have in our team, me and Tuah and Jalen so, 310 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they have their preference, but it's 311 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: really just I think we all produced when we were 312 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: in there at quarterback, which is really important. And obviously 313 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: every year there's gonna be great players on the Alabama 314 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: and stuff. So it was you know, it was cool 315 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: to play with some of the guys that to have 316 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: played with. And I learned a lot from Tua and 317 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, he wants to get the ball the open guy, 318 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: just like I do. So I think we did a 319 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: good job in college and we just gotta keep moving 320 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: forward here.
