Bill Belichick harmed Mac Jones’s development, and the damage might be permanent, former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin III said during a recent appearance on ESPN’s Get Up.
“For me, this comes down to coaching,” Griffin said. “In Year Two, Bill Belichick messed up his young quarterback. When you give him a defensive coordinator and a special teams coordinator as his offensive coordinator and he’s on his third coordinator in three years in the NFL, that is the epitome of coaching malpractice.”
The problems have carried over into this year, and the Patriots are asking Jones to do things he isn’t good at, Griffin said.
