“Mac Jones connects with the players very well,” New England Patriots players flood in praises for franchise QB ahead of the 2022 NFL season

Mac Jones is all set to step foot into the second season as the first choice franchise quarterback for the New England Patriots and has started garnering high praise from his teammates.

Bill Belichick roped in Mac Jones in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, and the quarterback repaid the faith, as he led them to a playoff spot in his rookie season. Coming into his second year, he is now looking polish his leadership role in the franchise and make better plays for the season in 2022.

Wide Receiver Kendrick Bourne was floored by Mac Jones’ qualities on the pitch

“It’s just at another level now,” receiver Kendrick Bourne told ESPN’s, Mike Reiss. “He’s more comfortable, more confident. He knows what’s going on, and the muscle memory is there (from having gone through it) — OTAs, then camp, and the season. He’s just more locked in, more secure in his position.”

“He connects with all the players really well. I’m proud of that dude because it’s not easy,” Bourne said. “Going into his second year after having a year like that, it’s going to be a challenge, but he’s a guy that likes challenges, like all of us in that Patriot building.”
