Patriots quarterback Mac Jones did not have a stellar 2022 season after his strong rookie campaign the year before.
Jones, a former first-round pick in the ’21 NFL draft, threw for 2,997 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season compared to ’21 when he threw for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
However, rather than lash out at Jones, The Athletic reported that Patriots coach Bill Belichick told his coaching staff to “not be too hard” on the signal caller. Instead, Belichick took more of a “constructive” approach, which the report notes is opposite of what he did with longtime Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
