0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pats podcast. I'm Phil Perry. Really fun episode for you today because let's talk about Mac Jones,
0:22.3	shall we? It's been about five minutes since we last talked about Mac Jones. But we are
0:27.2	constantly talking about get him a weapon, get him a weapon, get him a weapon, right?
0:31.9	How about specifically get him a weapon that he's already familiar with? Because it's happening
0:36.6	all over the league, slowly but surely right now.
0:39.3	Whether you're down in Miami with Tuatung of Iloa,
0:41.3	paired with Jalen Waddle, his college teammate, or in Philly,
0:45.3	and it's Jalen Hertz with Devante Smith,
0:47.3	or the big example that we're all very well aware of,
0:50.3	Joe Burrow and Jammar Chase in Cincinnati, all of those receivers helping their college
0:56.9	quarterbacks take their games to another level. Can that happen for Mack Jones? Well, in this
1:02.1	draft class, there are a couple of Mack Jones's Alabama teammates that are available in the draft.
1:07.1	One is Slade Bolden, slot receiver that we talked about on this podcast before with Mike Rodak down in Alabama.
1:12.6	The other is John Mechie. Coming off in ACL, John Mechie, one of the most productive Alabama receivers the last few years.

1:27.4	But John Mechie met with us here in Indianapolis at the Combine. Today he was asked about his knee. He was also asked about his relationship with Mac Jones and what it would be like to pair with Mac Jones in the NFL. Here's his answer. Oh, that would be cool. Me and Mac 10 got back together. It would be cool, yeah, for sure. Have you thought about that at all, especially with Chase and Burrow, kind of picking up where they left off from LSU in Cincinnati?
1:51.0	Yeah, yeah, it's definitely something I've heard and especially seeing the trend of teams liking the unite quarterbacks and receivers or just former teammates together.
2:00.3	I think Mac10 and that would be special for sure.
2:03.3	So there you have it.
2:04.6	Big smile, confident guy, smart guy, John Mechie is really interesting background.
2:09.6	We'll learn more and more about Mechie as we get through this offseason as we get
2:13.1	closer and closer to the draft.
