With Thanksgiving coming up, Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones was asked about his food preferences while on Merloni & Fauria. During his time on the show, Jones revealed that he’s not a fan of apple pie.
“I don’t like apple pie,” Jones said on Merloni & Fauria. “I don’t like any of the pies.”
Jones has won a lot of fans over because of his success on the football field, but his take about apple pies is not sitting well with the NFL world.
“Mac Jones hates apple pie,” Jeff Howe of The Athletic tweeted. “Matt Judon hates mac and cheese. The Patriots are coming unglued.”

“APPLE PIE IS AMERICAN. MAC JONES CANNOT BE A PATRIOT. RENAME THE PATRIOTS TO THE NEW ENGLAND COMMIES,” Jess Root of Cards Wire said. “I mean, not really, but it’s fun.”

There’s no doubt pie is one of the staples of Thanksgiving, but Jones is obviously entitled to his opinion.
