Mac Jones isn’t short of supporters around the NFL.
The New England Patriots quarterback is entering his second year in the league and he’s already considered a sure thing. Jones led the Patriots to a 10-7 record last year, while earning a playoff bid and a Pro Bowl selection. He was calm, cool and collected as he threw for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions — with a 68 completion percentage.
The 2022 season will present its own challenges for Jones due to the departure of Josh McDaniels and a few offensive coaches. He will have to navigate an offense that is ran by Joe Judge and Matt Patricia, which will be interesting.
Despite the challenges and obstacles ahead, Kyle Van Noy still fully believes in the potential Jones has. Van Noy joined the “The Pat McAfee Show” and expressed this admiration for Jones.
“I love Mac,” Van Noy said, transcribed by NESN. “I actually believe in Mac. … I really believe in him, and I think he’s going to be great. I hope he has the supporting cast to support him, that’s for sure, because he needs it.”

Van Noy had a second stint with the Patriots in 2021, but he was released this offseason and he’s now a member of the Los Angeles Chargers. Both Van Noy and J.C. Jackson will have the experience of playing alongside another young and talented quarterback in Justin Herbert.
