Former New England Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich has publicly criticized ex-Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, expressing strong disdain for him on the 'Dan and Ninko Show' podcast. Ninkovich mocked Jones' performance and attitude, wishing him a career as a backup quarterback. Jones, who was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round draft pick, is now the backup to Trevor Lawrence. The Patriots have moved on with new quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye, with Brissett starting in Week 1. Ninkovich's comments reflect broader dissatisfaction within the Patriots' organization regarding Jones' tenure with the team.
