FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The question of who calls the plays for the New England Patriots' offense lingers, but when it comes to who has taken ownership of the unit on the field, receiver Jakobi Meyers is emphatic.
It's quarterback Mac Jones.
"Has he taken control of the offense? That's a capital YES, exclamation mark, exclamation mark," Meyers said Thursday at the conclusion of the Patriots' mandatory minicamp. "He's the real deal. We're all trying to catch up what's in his mind, his vision."
Asked if he feels ownership of the offense in his second season, Jones said: "Yeah, I think that's the whole point of the quarterback, to lead the guys around you, get them the ball.
