The Patriots made their trade of quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars officially official on Thursday morning.
On Thursday evening, the former first round pick of New England issued the following statement:
"The last three seasons with the New England Patriots are years I will cherish for the rest of my life. I will always be grateful for my time in New England and for the opportunity to start my career in the NFL.
To Mr. Kraft and the Kraft family, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to make my dream of playing in the NFL come true. To Coach Belichick and all the coaches and support staff who helped me each and every day, including training, equipment, strength, video staff, and everyone in between, thank you for all that you did to help me prepare over the years. I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
To my teammates, it was an honor to play alongside you these last three years and I will cherish the friendships that we built.
And finally, thank you to the fans for always showing up and supporting me and the Patriots. It has been a blessing to be a part of the Patriots organization and I will always have love for the New England community.
With that being said, I am thrilled to go home and to get to work in DUUUUVAL!
Thank you to the Jacksonville Jaguars organization for the opportunity.
Let's go! #DTWD
- Mac Jones"
