Mac Jones was not the most prolific quarterback in 2021 during his rookie season. His year was, in fact, underwhelming when looking at his counting stats: 3,801 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 17 starts.
Had he not won 10 games, there might even be room for concern. But Jones led the team to the playoffs with a steady and conservative approach as a passer. He may not have the same luxury this year. With the Patriots defense looking less experienced and less talented, New England will need Jones to do more.
So that begs the question: How much more can the Patriots ask of Jones in 2022?
