Mac Jones dubbed next ‘Taysom Hill’ as Jaguars QB shows ‘new energy’ after bulking up since leaving Patriots

MAC Jones’ return to his hometown of Jacksonville has given him new life.

The 25-year-old former first-round pick floundered for a struggling New England Patriots franchise and was traded to the Jaguars for a sixth-round pick.

Jones looked like a new man in OTAs and a recent social media clip perfectly sums up the change.

Taking part in some running drills, the quarterback looked powerful as he kept the ball safe.

He even finished with a dramatic roll onto a mat and stood up with great arrogance.

Fans have even joked that he could be played in a hybrid role like New Orleans Saints utility player Taysom Hill.

“Mac Jones, the new Taysom Hill,” posted one.

“Guy hasn’t had fun on a football field since Obama took office. He went from Saban to Bill,” added another.

“He’s so silly but you love the energy,” replied a third.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson has already revived the career of former first overall pick and starting QB Trevor Lawrence.

And he’s delighted with Jones’ campaign.

“He’s the ultimate professional,” said the former Philadelphia Eagles coach.

“He’s done a great job since he’s been here, spending time studying the offense, getting caught up in the offense.

“You can see why I liked him coming out of college, when (I was) looking at quarterbacks at that time.

“(He) plays a very good ball.

“A change of scenery is sometimes good for players and coaches.

“For him to come back here close to his family, his friends, it’s been good for him.

“I think he’s embraced that since he got here.”

Lawrence, 24, is in talks over a new mega-money contract.

But he insists his focus remains on the pitch.

“Obviously, I’m aware of what’s going on, but I try to stay focused on doing my job here,” Lawrence told reporters at OTAs.

“I feel strongly that this will resolve itself and it’s not something I need to worry about.”
