Ex-NFL GM chooses Patriots QB Mac Jones as sneaky 2022 MVP pick

Mac Jones faces high expectations entering his second season with the New England Patriots, and one former NFL general manager is very bullish on the young quarterback as training camps near.

ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum, who worked as the New York Jets GM from 2006 through 2012, said Wednesday on morning show "Get Up!" that Jones is a sneaky league MVP candidate this coming season.

"This is a team with two great running backs, two great tight ends, a really good offensive line and, in my opinion, a slightly underrated wide receiver corps," Tannenbaum said later in the show.
