Despite the uncertainties surrounding the New England Patriots' starting QB for 2023, Mac Jones seems confident about taking the job and even revealed his excitement to work with new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien.
Jones took a step back in his sophomore season with the Patriots, and it certainly didn't help him that there was no true point person to call offensive plays for the team in 2022. Now that the team has O'Brien as offensive coordinator, Jones has high hopes he can recapture his old form and improve in the upcoming campaign.
For our NFL comps for the top 2023 QB draft prospects, listen below:
“I think we're all excited for this next year, and it just starts with putting your head down and going to work. We've got a great group of guys, and it's all about how you come together as a team — players, coaches, everybody. So I'm excited to work with [O’Brien], and I know we all are, and it's gonna be a great year. We’ve just gotta put the work in,” Jones said in an interview with Steve Burton of WBZ-TV as he visits the Boys & Girls Club of Metro South in Brockton.
Mac Jones also doesn't seem someone bothered by the recent starting QB drama within the Patriots. For those not in the know, head coach Bill Belichick has remained mum on who will take the starting job next season, only noting that “everybody will get a chance to play.”
Jones has also been involved in trade rumors as of late, though reports have since emerged denying those tallks.
“[The offseason has] been good. I think it’s important to just evaluate everything. Obviously, a day like today, it takes your mind off football and you get to enjoy the kids. But I've definitely been giving it a lot, just like every year, and just super excited to get back with the guys here soon and get to work,” Jones added.
It remains to be seen what the Patriots will do with their QB room, but it sure looks Jones is confident about his place on the team.
