The New England Patriots made an addition on Wednesday, signing quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad. Quarterback Mac Jones weighed in on the signing, having seen Book play up close in college.
“Ian and I played against each other in college,” Jones said, per NESN’s Zack Cox. “He’s a great quarterback, and we’re excited to have him in our room.”
Book’s name might sound familiar to college football fans. He was the starting quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish from 2017-2020. He recorded 8,948 passing yards and 72 touchdowns in four seasons of play.
