A new golden couple will soon be invading New England.
On Thursday, the New England Patriots selected former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Upon being selected, Jones’ girlfriend, Sophie Scott, celebrated the moment on social media.
“Looking at the newest New England Patriot 🤩 #patsnation,” Scott gushed of the 22-year-old quarterback.
While members of Patriots Nation were quick to welcome the pair to New England, one fan likened Jones and Scott to the second coming of former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and his wife Gisele Bündchen.
“The sequel to Gisele and Tom,” the fan commented on Scott’s post.
Together since 2019, Scott and Jones celebrated their one-year dating anniversary this past September.
In the days leading up to the draft, Scott gave her followers a tease as to what her ensemble would look like for Thursday night. She decided on a pale pink dress while Jones opted for a light blue suit.
Jones had previously been linked to the San Francisco 49ers, who ended up drafting quarterback Trey Lance with the third overall pick.
Jones told ESPN on Thursday night that he believed New England was the right fit for him.
“At the end of the day, you kind of want to get the right fit. I feel like, secretly, I really wanted to go to the Patriots all along,” Jones said. “So I’m actually really happy it happened.”
Jones will join veteran quarterbacks Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham in New England.
As for Brady, 43, who departed the Patriots last March after two decades in New England, he recently celebrated his seventh Super Bowl win and his first as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He has been married to Bündchen, 40, since 2009 and the couple shares two children, daughter Vivian, 8, and son Benjamin, 11. Brady also has a 13-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
