Dan Orlovsky explained why the Patriots’ offense will fit Mac Jones’s ‘strength’

With Patriots training camp set to get underway on July 28, one of the central storylines will be the quarterback competition between Cam Newton and Mac Jones.

Newton, 32, is the returning starter. Jones, 22, enters the NFL as New England’s 2021 first-round pick, having won a national championship with Alabama a season ago.

While there’s an expectation that Newton will show an improved version of his 2020 performance (in which the Patriots slumped to a non-playoff season for the first time in more than a decade), Jones is seen as the long-term answer.
