No one is neglecting Mac Jones in 2022.
The New England Patriots quarterback has the attention of at least three coaches thus far in training camp, with coach Bill Belichick, quarterbacks coach Joe Judge and offensive line coach Matt Patricia spending time overseeing the development of the second-year quarterback. In particular, Jones has repeatedly mentioned how much Bill Belichick is doing for the quarterback’s development. Though that seems to be happening in meetings behind the scenes. For the most part, Belichick has simply watched Jones at practice while Judge and Patricia have taken turns chatting with the young quarterback. Judge takes the lead during positional drills. Patrica takes over for team drills, which includes calling the plays on offense during 11-on-11 drills.
And so it seems that Jones is drawing heavily from defensive-oriented coaches: Patricia and Belichick. That has made for a unique perspective.
