Arguably the most important factor in a young quarterback’s development is coaching.
If that’s the case, then Mac Jones might have ended up in as good of a spot as any. Obviously, the Patriots are manned by head coach Bill Belichick, who’s won more Super Bowls than any head coach in league history. But they also have offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who’s been touted by many in the NFL as one of the best offensive minds in the league over the last 15 years.
Former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel can attest to McDaniels’s strong coaching abilities. When Cassel was drafted by the Patriots in 2005, McDaniels began his first season as the Patriots offensive coordinator, adding that title to his quarterbacks coach title.
