New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones showed promise in 2021. But how quickly can he develop into an elite pocket passer?
That’s one of the many questions the Patriots must consider as they prepare for the 2022 season. On paper, New England looks outmatched by a number of teams around the AFC. But that’s, in part, because Jones looked like a competent but quiet rookie in 2021. He was not outright winning games for the Patriots. If that changes — and Jones develops into the type of quarterback who can elevate his team and take charge of a game — then perhaps the Patriots will be better than everyone anticipates. So that begs the question: Will Jones be elite in 2022.
