New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick “absolutely” feels the same way about quarterback Mac Jones right now as he did entering the 2022 season, when the former first-round draft pick was coming off a Pro Bowl year.
That’s certainly a relief for Patriots fans considering most of the offseason reports has been about the two being at odds with one another last season. For the first time in a while, Belichick actually seemed complimentary of Jones last week, during the 2023 NFL draft.
Before the draft, Belichick had seemed mostly non-committal to Jones as the starting quarterback for the Patriots.
