It didn’t take long for Mac Jones to gain Bill Belichick‘s 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 didn’t look satisfied with Jones’ performances.

However, the 2021 first-round pick is heading into the 2023 campaign as the team’s starter again, hoping to turn up his level. Besides, it looks like Jones and Belichick left the tension from last year behind.

“I think there’s a lot of learning experiences from last year that we’ve talked about, and this year, it’s all about just working together, right? You’ve got to come up with a plan and then obviously talk about it and execute it, so I’m excited for that part of it.”
