Mac Jones Showing More Leadership
2 years agoNew England Patriots second-year quarterback Mac Jones' increased leadership has caught his teammates' attention during offseason workouts. "It's just at another level now," receiver Kendrick Bourne said. "He's more comfortable, more confident. He knows what's going on, and the muscle memory is there [from having gone through it] -- OTAs, then camp, and the season. He's just more locked in, more secure in his position." Jones is on track to become a team captain in just his second NFL season. He has impressed teammates and coaches this offseason, but many folks are wondering if he'll take a step back without offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in 2022. Jones has a new weapon in receiver DeVante Parker, but the Patriots should remain a run-first, ball-control team, leaving Jones as a mediocre QB2 option in fantasy.
