It didnât take long for Mac Jones to gain Bill Belichickâs trust, earning the starting quarterback job ahead of his rookie season with the New England Patriots. However, nothing went to plan in his second year in the NFL.
The Alabama product failed to produce in 2022, and at some point, his job looked in danger. Belichick started Bailey Zappe for a few games, as he didnât look satisfied with Jonesâ performances.
However, the 2021 first-round pick is heading into the 2023 campaign as the teamâs starter again, hoping to turn up his level. Besides, it looks like Jones and Belichick left the tension from last year behind.
Mac Jones says everythingâs good with Patriots HC Bill Belichick
âI think weâre good,â Jones said when asked about how things are between him and Belichick at the moment, via NESN. âI think the biggest thing that weâve all talked about is just having a fresh start.
âI think thereâs a lot of learning experiences from last year that weâve talked about, and this year, itâs all about just working together, right? Youâve got to come up with a plan and then obviously talk about it and execute it, so Iâm excited for that part of it.â
