Cam Newton's nicknames for his teammates have been a big hit over the last year-plus.
But not when it comes to Mac Jones' for Bart Scott.
“That’s disrespectful, right? That brings up something totally different,” Scott said recently on ESPN’s Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin show. ”Mac and Cheese is like one of the most disrespectful nicknames that I’ve heard in a long time, and this dude thinks it’s a term of endearment. Like, I don’t know if somebody told him, he’s pretty much body shaming him.”
Scott also believes Jones will take over for Newton at some point during the year.
“They’re going to treat Cam like a rental car, right,” he said. “Because they know he’s not going to be there (next season), so they don’t care. They’ll run him into the ground, run all the tread off the tires and then maybe hand it over to ‘Mac and Cheese’ in the middle of the season or late season.”
The Patriots are currently preparing for the first preseason game, which is set for Thursday night.
