This is my final Roster projection ahead of the 4:00 deadline today.
2021 Final 53 Man Roster Projection
Roster Total 53 8/30/2021
Offense 23
QUARTERBACK (2) Cam Newton, Mac Jones
Jones played well enough, demonstrated his understanding of the playbook, and showed the poise needed to be a starter. So much so, the Patriots can afford to go with just two QBs. Looking back at Tom Brady’s rookie season, he never showed the same poise in pre-season games or joint practices that Jones has. Granted, Brady didn’t get the opportunity Jones has had.
