Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will play in the 2022 Pro Bowl game, per a release from the team on Sunday.
Jones wasn’t the first choice for quarterback — per the Patriots, “some of the AFC’s quarterbacks opted out.” Still, Jones put together a promising rookie season and helped lead his team to a 10-7 record and a playoff appearance after a disappointing campaign by the franchise last year. Jones threw 22 touchdowns and completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 3,801 passing yards. He finished with the highest PFF grade of any rookie quarterback in a vaunted class.
