In the first round, sitting at pick 15, Mac Jones fell to New England who scooped him up quickly after staying put during Justin Fields‘ slide. Mac had one of the best college…

All was right with the world for a few hours on Friday morning. Boston College officially opened up with their first practice and then Coach Hafley and a few players met with the media in person for the first time since March 10, 2020.
