If Mac Jones isn’t a fan of Rob Ninkovich, the former New England Patriots defensive legend made it clear he isn’t a fan of Jones, either.
During a segment on “The Dan and Ninko Show,” Ninkovich relentlessly roasted the former Patriots starting quarterback when presented with the possibility that Jones doesn’t like him.
“I don’t give a [expletive]. I’ll smack the [expletive] out of [expletive] Mac Jones,” said Ninkovich. “I don’t care. …[Expletive] him. I hope he has a great career as a backup and makes a ton of money.”
Ninkovich even went as far as imitating Jones’ voice during press conferences, expressing that he prefers Drake Maye as quarterback for the team.
“I’d rather listen to Drake Maye talk than, ‘Yeah, my modeling career didn’t work out. So now, I’m back down here in Jacksonville,'” said Ninkovich. “I’m a nice guy, too. I’m a nice guy. I’m in a bike club. I needed some more nuts.”
Jones was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason, and he ended up winning the top backup job behind Trevor Lawrence. He looked nothing like the quarterback who went 2-9 on the season in 2023 with 2,120 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Hopefully, a more stable situation can help the former first-round draft pick turn his career around. One thing is certain: Ninkovich won’t miss him.
