Can Patriots afford to pass on Caleb Williams or Drake Maye in draft? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots don't have a franchise quarterback, so how do they find one as quickly as possible?
Mac Jones was supposed to be that kind of player when the Patriots selected him out of Alabama with the No. 15 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. After a good rookie campaign, Jones has struggled mightily since the beginning of the 2022 season. He has thrown 10 interceptions -- the second-most of any QB this season -- and is 2-8 as a starter.
