The Patriots won’t officially begin offseason program until next week, but a handful of New England players already have begun preparations for the 2023 season.
Quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe on Tuesday met for a throwing session that included wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, recently signed tight end Mike Gesicki and others, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Giardi.
Jones and Zappe both have been frequent visitors to Gillette Stadium as the team prepares to reconvene for spring workouts, according to multiple outlets. Head coach Bill Belichick foreshadowed a competition between the two QBs when speaking with reporters last month, saying the Patriots will “play the best players” when asked whether Jones will start this season.
