Mac Jones wants to earn ‘respect’ from Patriots again after disastrous 2022 season

Third-year Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is looking to improve in all areas across the board following a disappointing sophomore season.

When speaking to reporters over the past week, the former first-round pick — who was heavily scrutinized last season in New England, where there was an offensive coaching change and a maligned system to boot — vowed how he’s “going to do everything I can to earn the respect of everybody in this building again.”

“Sometimes the most confident people come from a year where they might not have been their best. I feel like that’s where I’m at,” the 24-year-old Jones said, according to ESPN.
