Brian Hoyer saw the best from Mac Jones in 2021, by the far the best year of his tenure with the New England Patriots.
Jones was a finalist for Offensive Rookie of the Year and made the Pro Bowl as an alternate during his rookie season, tossing 22 touchdowns and leading the Patriots to a playoff berth.
Since then, the former first-rounder has taken a wrong turn in his NFL career in a dysfunctional offense with the likelihood of his future with the Patriots more than dwindling.
Hoyer was released by the Patriots last spring, though he has kept an eye on his former team from a distance.
