New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones developed a rapport with his pass-catchers and found himself relying upon specific players in gotta-have-it situations.
Receiver Jakobi Meyers, for example, was Jones’ favorite target on the season, and appeared to be the quarterback’s safety net on third down. Tight end Hunter Henry started the season as Jones’ favorite option in the red area, though that connection slowed down as defenses paid more attention to Henry near the end zone.
As the Patriots enter the 2022 offseason, retired Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia suggested the team needs to do more for their young quarterback.
