New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has had the backing of his teammates all off-season with a few players rallying around him, and now a Patriots legend has told the team that Jones should be their QB1 for the future.
Former running back James White spent eight seasons with the Patriots, winning three NFL championships as one of Tom Brady 's favourite receiving options on the team - including scoring the decisive walk-off touchdown in the Super Bowl victory against the Atlanta Falcons to complete one of the greatest comebacks of all-time.
White would also play with Jones for one season, the quarterback's rookie year was his final year in the league as he played in a limited role, but remained a locker room leader for the team in 2021. And White is just the latest player to give Jones his backing heading into the new year, explaining he sees him as the quarterback who should be Brady's long-term replacement.
