Mac Jones has gone from a quality passer as rookie to fighting for his future in his third season with the New England Patriots.
Regression has been a theme since Jones made the Pro Bowl as an alternate after leading New England to a playoff appearance in 2021. Now sitting at 2-8, Jones and the Patriots are a shell of what the core could have built on after the first season.
Additionally, reports about declining support for Jones in the New England have only hurt the perception of the former first-round pick.
