Bill O'Brien giving Patriots QB Mac Jones a 'clean slate' for 2023 season originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The 2023 NFL season is a fresh start for every New England Patriots player, especially quarterback Mac Jones.
It's no secret that the 2022 campaign was a tough one for Jones. The 2021 first-round pick did not improve on his strong rookie season. He took a step back performance-wise and missed three games due to an ankle injury. The offensive coaching situation, highlighted by Matt Patricia calling plays and Joe Judge as the quarterbacks coach, was an absolute disaster.
