In what shouldn't be considered major news or a major surprise, Alabama quarterback Mac Jones met with the Patriots at the Senior Bowl this week.
“We just had a good conversation,” Jones told reporters in Mobile, Alabama. “Talked and they got to know me really well. I really liked their (team) table. It’s kinda fun to see how different tables, they act a little different, but the Patriots were really cool and asked some really good questions.”
At this time of year teams try and talk to almost every player, especially at positions that will be highly targeted in the draft, which is why it really isn't big news.
Jones reportedly had a good week of practice, which should help his draft stock in the coming months. The biggest question going into the week with him was how much of his production was because of the talent he had around him, but he seemed to show well.
It is worth noting he may not play in Saturday's game after tweaking his left ankle Thursday.
