Last week Cam Newton was shocking released by the Patriots as part of the final roster cuts in New England. Not only is it surprising to have the previous year’s starter get cut, but in favor of a rookie QB without a single pas thrown in the NFL is almost unheard of.
But Bill Belichick appears to like what he sees in the highest QB he’s ever drafted, and that could have something to do with Mac Jones’ ability to digest the likely extremely complicated Pats playbook.
If you’re looking for a better idea of exactly how crazy this is, just listen to how Ninkovich talks about it on the Dan and Ninko Show:
According to former Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich, he got word that there were instances where the rook was teaching the veteran and former MVP portions of the Patriots offensive playbook.
