When the Patriots selected Mac Jones in the first round of the 2021 draft, they committed to building an offense around their new quarterback.
After a successful rookie season, Jones is now transitioning with a new coaching staff after former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels's departure. The transition period has naturally led to some growing pains, but it's also allowed Jones to take more ownership of the offense.
Among the various things that the Patriots quarterback stressed he wanted to install heading into his second season were run-pass options, a staple of the offense he ran at Alabama.
