New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones visited the Boys and Girls Club of Metro South in the Brockton, Mass. on Tuesday. While there, he presented the club with a $100,000 donation.
It was part of a visit that included Jones handing out Nerf footballs, playing basketball, and teaching kids the “Griddy.” The latter was the touchdown dance that Jones did after scoring a touchdown in the Pro Bowl in February.
The second-year quarterback also took a tour of the facility. In addition to the tours, he spoke to an older group of the kids at the club as well, and watched one of their highlight tapes.

One of his main goals is to help out the youth in the community, according to Patriots.com’s Alexandra Francesco.
“I’ve been super busy focused on football, but I want to be able to step out [in the community] like I did in college and high school,” Jones said. “Helping younger kids is kind of what my passion is, young people, whether they like sports or not, to help them reach their dreams.”
As Jones looks to make advancements on the field, he is aiming to make a big impact in the community as well.
