LOOK: Mac Jones receives high praise from LSU alum Tyrann Mathieu
Former LSU standout defensive back Tyrann Mathieu took to Twitter earlier today to express his thoughts on rookie quarterback Mac Jones.
Now a star for the Chiefs, Mathieu took a shot at some of the NFL talking heads for dismissing Jones during the draft process.
Mac Jones wasn’t trendy enough for y’all at first huh now y’all love him…. Man, y’all funny!!! Day in and day out!!! Y’all should be on Comedy Central

He don’t throw side arm or run fast so people knocked him….. dude can play QB! Period

As you can see Mathieu pointed out that Jones lacked a certain flash that some of the other quarterbacks and that is why analysts and scouts slept on the Alabama product.
Mathieu certainly makes a great point, Jones is having a fantastic rookie season for the Patriots.
