Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne praises Mac Jones’ leadership in OTAs, says Jones “connects well with everyone”

Mac Jones set franchise records as a rookie quarterback in 2021 for the New England Patriots.

He got selected at No. 15 overall in the NFL Draft and led the Patriots to the playoffs. Jones is focused on building off a good campaign, and he’s excelled in the offseason. He has dropped weight, trimmed up, and looks stronger. As a native of Jacksonville, Fla., Jones pushed Alabama football to an undefeated national championship in 2020. He’s been working with Tom House, Tom Brady’s throwing coach, and building more chemistry with his receivers. Jones will not have Josh McDaniels calling plays as he’s now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
