It is no secret that outside of his rookie season, Mac Jones has been disappointing. His backup Bailey Zappe, outside of a 2022 four-game stretch as a rookie, has fared no better.

His rushing abilities could represent a paradigm shift for a team that traditionally has not had to rely on a dual-threat quarterback.
