Would Patriots' Mac Jones do the Netflix 'Quarterback' show?

New England Patriots starter Mac Jones added his name to the list of noteworthy signal-callers not interested in participating in the second season of Netflix's "Quarterback" docuseries. 

According to Dakota Randall of NESN, Jones said during an appearance on the WEEI "Jones & Mego" program that he would probably "pass" if he was approached by Netflix about taking part in the "Quarterback" show. 

"I don’t really watch TV that much, honestly," Jones added during the interview. "So, I guess I could watch it if I have some free time, but we’re kind of busy right now." 

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, Minnesota Vikings starter Kirk Cousins and current Philadelphia Eagles backup Marcus Mariota starred in the debut season of "Quarterback," but Netflix seemingly is having difficulty finding willing participants for season No. 2. 

Eagles starter Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins, Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears, unproven Washington Commanders starter Sam Howell and Daniel Jones of the New York Giants are among players who have suggested they won't be featured in the version of the "Quarterback" show released after the upcoming NFL campaign. 

According to Brandon Contes of Awful Announcing, former Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller and current "NFL Today" analyst Boomer Esiason said on the WFAN morning show last week that "it sounds like Joe Burrow" of the Bengals "is doing the 'Quarterback' show." 

Burrow previously said he did not "think now's the right time" to participate in such a project. 

"I do think it’s cool, and I think a lot of guys who go on there, you get to kind of see an inside of what football’s like, and I think it’s cool," Jones said about "Quarterback."

It's unclear if Jones' alleged rocky relationship with head coach Bill Belichick impacts the 24-year-old's feelings regarding the "Quarterback" show, but the 2021 first-round draft pick unquestionably has more important things to worry about this summer than the Netflix program. 

The Patriots must make a decision about the fifth-year option attached to Jones' rookie contract next spring, and the club declining that option could result in the beginning of the end of his tenure with the organization.
