Former LSU standout Tyrann “Honey Badger” Mathieu came to the defense of former Alabama quarterback, now New England Patriots starter Mac Jones on Twitter.
The Honey Badger called out NFL reporters, analysts, and fans who were openly critical of Jones during the NFL Draft.
“Mac Jones wasn’t trendy enough for y’all at first huh now y’all love him…. Man, y’all funny!!! Day in and day out!!! Y’all should be on Comedy Central.”
He also went on to explain why so many overlook him.
“He don’t throw side arm or run fast so people knocked him….. dude can play QB! Period”

Don’t look now, but the New England Patriots are arguably the hottest team in the NFL. This past Sunday, Jones had his best game as the Patriot starter throwing for 198 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Pats 45-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Through 10 weeks, Mac Jones’ 2,333 passing yards is tied with Justin Herbert for the sixth most by a rookie QB in NFL history.
The win gave New England its fourth consecutive win to move to 6-4 on the season.
