The Jaguars' backup finds himself outside of the top-15.
The Jacksonville Jaguars opted to improve their backup quarterback position this offseason, trading a sixth-round pick for former New England Patriots first-rounder Mac Jones.
While Jones is an on-paper upgrade over fellow backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, who went 1-0 as a starter for the Jaguars in 2023, it doesn't seem like he is a lock to be considered among the top backups in the NFL. While not every team has a recent first-round pick as their backup quarterback, there are more backup quarterbacks who have found recent success than Jones has in recent years. As such, Jones found himself at No. 16 inThe 2021 first-round pick failed to get on the same page with his teammates on the field and with Bill Belichick the past two seasons as the Patriots’ starter.
Jones regressed in 2022, going 6-8 in 14 starts and throwing for 2,997 yards and 14 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. Jones' final run with the Patriots came in 2023, with the former first round pick starting 11 games and going 2-9 in the process before heading for the bench. In his third season, Jones threw for 2,120 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
