The improvements were eye-opening and easy to see.
This spring, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones looked bigger. His arm strength looked better. He had the poise of a veteran and commanded his offense with confidence. Deep throw after deep throw, his teammates screamed, cheered and celebrated. Highlight throws became the norm in Patriots OTAs and minicamp.
Coming off a fantastic rookie season, Jones’ rapid improvements this spring has the Patriots organization excited for the future. On Tuesday, a day before the team’s first day of training camp, Bill Belichick echoed those sentiments.
