Mac Jones is on pace to set the rookie record for the highest completion percentage at 70.2%. If he can pull it off, he’ll do so in the wake of logging the highest completion percentage (77.4%) in college football history with a minimum of 200 passes. It would be quite the run.
It’s about more than what he does on paper. The New England Patriots quarterback throws a ball that receivers genuinely seem to like to catch. Kendrick Bourne, for example, said he preferred catching Jones’ passes to that of Jimmy Garoppolo. Both Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, former teammates with Jones at Alabama, said they preferred him at QB over Tua Tagavailoa. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels praised Jones for throwing a catchable ball.
