After how things ended for Jones in New England, there were questions if Mac Jones was going to end up a bust after being drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be facing the "Next Baker Mayfield" in San Francisco 49ers backup QB Mac Jones in Week 6.

Belichick's offense misfired after he placed Matt Patricia and Joe Judge in charge of calling the shots in 2022 following Josh McDaniels' exit as offensive coordinator. During the ensuing 2022 and 2023 seasons, Jones tallied 24 touchdown passes total with 23 interceptions and a QBR near the bottom of the NFL.

Before leading the San Francisco 49ers, Mac Jones appeared in local commercials as a child actor and model, a quirky early chapter that helped shape his ease in front of cameras today.

The quarterback, who has been under center for three of San Francisco's first five games this year as starter Brock Purdy deals with a turf toe injury, led his team on a second game-winning drive in as many starts to capture a 26-23 win over the division rival Rams.
