At least the expectations of Mac Jones won’t be particularly high this year.
On Monday, ESPN released a poll of coaches, executives, players, and scouts, which measured the temperature of the quarterback position around the NFL. Each respondent was asked to send in the 10 quarterbacks they expect to be the best in the league this year.
After a very difficult year in 2022, the Patriots‘ 24-year-old quarterback — perhaps unsurprisingly — received no votes. He was not included in the top 10, honorable mention, or among the quarterbacks who received votes.
The top 10 didn’t include many surprises — Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow were first and second respectively, followed by Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers.
