At this point last year, Bill Belichick had very little to say about quarterback Mac Jones — except perhaps that he had a long way to go. This year, Belichick is singing his young quarterback’s praises as Jones heads into his second year with the New England Patriots.
What a difference a year makes, right?
“He’s made tremendous strides,” Belichick said of Jones on Tuesday during a press conference. “He did a great job last year, but he’s starting from a much, much higher point this year than where he started last year. His offseason work has been significant and I think everyone recognizes how well he prepares and how much further along he (is) than he was a year ago.”
