Why Patriots’ Kendrick Bourne Expects ‘Better’ 2022 For Him, Mac Jones

PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Kendrick Bourne’s first season with the New England Patriots was the best of his career.

He’s expecting an even more impressive encore — from both himself and the Patriots’ second-year quarterback, Mac Jones.

Speaking with NESN.com on Thursday, Bourne said he and Jones both are feeling more confident and comfortable as they enter their respective second seasons in New England. The two developed a strong on-field connection in 2021, resulting in a career-best 55-800-5 receiving line for the veteran wideout.

“Just a lot of confidence, man,” Bourne said ahead of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts Golf Classic at Pinehills Golf Club.
