Mac Jones Out-Dueling Bailey Zappe At Minicamp
2 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was feeling it on the first day of mandatory minicamp on Monday and was extremely accurate to start practice, hitting 25 straight passes. Jones went 10-for-12 in 11-on-11 drills on Monday. He also went a perfect 21-for-21 in 7-on-7 drills, and he spread the ball around to 10 different players. Jones has been great this spring, completing 89% (62-for-70) of his passes during team drills. He's been focused on his tight ends, with Mike Gesicki having a team-high 11 catches. Bailey Zappe had a solid day on Monday, but he's continually taken reps behind Jones this spring, with Monday being no different. Fantasy managers shouldn't consider Jones anywhere close to being a QB1 target, but barring a catastrophic collapse in training camp, he should be the starter under center in Week 1.
