Patriots' QB Mac Jones in 2022: 'Very Good' or 'Elite'?

Mac Jones is having quite an offseason.

Showed up for OTAs leaner and meaner. Grabbed more of a leadership role during minicamp. Impressed teammates with his improved arm strength and accuracy.

Even jetted off to Bermuda for a beach vacation with his bikini-clad girlfriend.

But, much more importantly, will the second-year New England Patriots quarterback be better on the field in 2022?

For the most part, Jones exceeded expectations in a rookie season in which he started all 18 games and threw for 3,801 yards and 22 touchdowns. But to gauge how far he needs to jump in Year 2, we need to pinpoint exactly where he is heading into training camp next month.
