The Jacksonville Jaguars practiced with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday and Thursday in advance of their NFL preseason game on Saturday. That put Mac Jones and Baker Mayfield on the same field. But are they on the same path?
Both quarterbacks were first-round draft picks, started as rookies, then lost their No. 1 status and were traded. That’s how Jones got to Jacksonville, competing to be Trevor Lawrence’s backup after three seasons with the New England Patriots.
Mayfield threw for 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns for the Bucs in 2023 and went to the Pro Bowl Games.
