Devin McCourty, who hasn't said whether or not he'll play next season, issued a strong statement of support behind Mac Jones as the quarterback of the future for the New England Patriots.

"I think sky's the limit," McCourty said on NFL Network. "I think he's the future of New England. Any doubts, I think you're wrong if you don't think that. He's in that building right now doing different things, working with guys, talking to guys; that's what he wants. He wants to be that quarterback."

McCourty said he believes that the addition of offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien will bring the "stability" that Jones was missing while playing under Matt Patricia and Joe Judge last season.
