Devin McCourty has perspective.
In his weekly guest spot Friday on “The Greg Hill Show,” the Patriots stalwart gave an honest response when asked about Mac Jones getting booed at Gillette Stadium Monday night.
“I’ve been here a long time. I’ve been booed. We’ve been booed. Tom’s been booed,” said McCourty. “I understand as a veteran, we play in an area that’s very spoiled in what it expects from the team. When I got here, everything was about, ‘How do you win three Super Bowls?’ When you’re in the NFL for a while, you realize, we got that down, but that’s not a normal task at hand to say, ‘You’ve got to win three Super Bowls to be considered a good football team.’ I think it kind of is what is is, and overall, we’ve been really focused this week on trying to get a win.”
Spoken like a true 13-year vet.
Drafted in 2010, McCourty has won three Super Bowls, played in four, and participated in eight straight AFC Championships. On a young team, his intangible value is immense.
With Jones expected to start Sunday against the Jets, he’s going to have to take McCourty’s words to heart.
