FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Mac's edge: Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in March that quarterback Mac Jones was "respectful of coming in as a rookie" last season and that he believed Jones "has a little more edge that we've seen."
It's showing now.
The Patriots have two weeks remaining in their offseason program -- with a three-day mandatory minicamp scheduled for Tuesday-Thursday this week -- and Jones' increased leadership has caught his teammates' attention.
"It's just at another level now," receiver Kendrick Bourne told ESPN.
