NFL fans are in stitches over a priceless photoshoot of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones with a fancy car.

Back in March, the Jaguars acquired Mac Jones from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round draft pick. Jones lost his starting job to Bailey Zappe in the 2023 season, giving the 2021 first-round pick a much-needed change of scenery in Duval County.

On X/Twitter, Jones posted some images of a photoshoot of himself holding a football in front of a luxurious vehicle. He used the caption “281-330-8004”: That number references a lyric in Mike Jones’ 2005 song “Back Then.”

Football fans couldn’t help but rack up the jokes on Mac Jones and his hysterical photoshoot:

 

 

Jones won’t be replacing Trevor Lawrence as the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting quarterback in 2024, but there’s no doubt that he’s happy with his new location. After all, the former Alabama star was born in Jacksonville and attended the city’s Bolles School.

Mac Jones Gets The Fresh Start He Desperately Needs

It was obvious that Mac Jones needed a fresh start after his forgettable last year in New England. Bill Belichick failed to build a quality supporting cast around Jones, and he ruined the QB’s development by making Joe Judge and Matt Patricia his co-offensive play-callers in 2022.

In 2023, Belichick struck out again on the OC position when he brought back old friend Bill O’Brien to run the offense. The Patriots’ dismal 4-13 finish prompted the Patriots to part ways with the legendary coach, a clear-cut reminder that the struggles in 2023 weren’t entirely on Jones.

Jones may only see snaps in garbage time behind Lawrence in 2024, but there’s nothing wrong with learning behind a star QB and a top offensive-minded coach in Doug Pederson. Jones is eligible to enter free agency in 2025, giving him the ideal opportunity to revive his career after a year away from New England.

Former Pro Bowl Pass-Catcher Announces He’s Coming Back To Play His 19th Season In The NFL

A veteran NFL tight end and former Pro Bowler is returning for a 19th NFL season.

One-time Pro Bowler Marcedes Lewis told NFL insider Jay Glazer of Fox Sports that he’s returning to play another year for the Chicago Bears. Among all active players under contract, Lewis is the second-longest-tenured player behind New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Lewis, who turned 40 years of age last month, was drafted 28th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2006. Lewis spent 12 seasons with the franchise before joining the Green Bay Packers in 2018, where he would play until 2022.

The one-time Pro Bowler signed with the rebuilding Bears last year, appearing in all 17 regular season games. Marcedes Lewis was used primarily as a blocker, hauling in four receptions for 29 yards and one touchdown.

 

 

The Bears have been one of football’s busiest teams this offseason, having used the first overall pick on USC quarterback Caleb Williams before taking Washington wideout Rome Odunze at No. 9 overall.

GM Ryan Poles traded for ex-Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowler and wideout Keenan Allen and signed running back D’Andre Swift to bolster the offense. Throw in the return of Lewis and his superb blocking, and you have the makings for a top-10 offensive unit in 2024.

Chicago will open its 2024 season with a home tilt against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8.

Marcedes Lewis Was A Pro Bowler In 2010

Marcedes Lewis had his best season back in 2010 on an otherwise mediocre Jacksonville Jaguars team. That year, he set career highs across the board with 58 receptions for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Jacksonville was close to winning the AFC South crown that year, but a brutal three-game losing streak to close out the season opened the door for Peyton Manning’s Indianapolis Colts to win the division once again.

For his career, Lewis has 436 receptions for 5,113 yards and 40 touchdowns.
