Mac Jones needs to deliver with his talents

McDaniels, during the AFC Coaches Breakfast at The Breakers, talks about young QBs like Jones, stating, “I think for a lot of young players, if you can digest that and understand, ‘I have a lot of responsibility to improve myself. I can’t just wait for somebody else to do it,’ I think that’s a big thing. And I’m sure Mac is doing that as we speak.”

While McDaniels had a part to play in his standout rookie season, the onus falls on Jones to capitalize on the situation. There have been some changes in the Patriots roster, but Jones will be looking to lead them in the upcoming season.
