Damien Harris On What Went Wrong With Mac Jones

Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris gives his thoughts on what went wrong during Mac Jones’s time in New England.

Former #Patriots RB Damien Harris says Bill Belichick being “stuck in his ways” caused Mac Jones to fail in New England.

“What happened to Mac Jones in New England, was not because of Mac Jones,” Damien Harris said. “What happened in New England to Mac Jones was because of the fact you took away an offensive coordinator (Josh McDaniels) who coached him to be a Pro Bowler and almost coached us to winning our division with a rookie quarterback.

“Then you take Matt Patricia, who’s coached defense his entire life, Joe Judge, who’s been a special teams coach … and then you just throw them in there and say, ‘Hey, coach this kid up. He’s a first-round pick, but as long as you teach him what I say, everything gonna be fine.’”

While Harris makes some good points, this could also be a way for the running back to vent. After all, Harris and Jones were teammates at the University of Alabama. This could just be for him to stick with his collegiate teammate.

Damien Harris also has nothing to worry about now. He can’t lose his job in the NFL because he has retired and can say things that were on his mind during his playing days.

Mac Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this offseason for a sixth-round pick. Jones will sit behind Trevor Lawrence and somehow develop on the bench or spend the rest of his career as a backup.

The New England Patriots will have a new coaching staff led by HC Jerod Mayo and rookie quarterback Drake Maye to start the season. Let’s see if the Patriots can start new without Bill Belichick.
