When it comes to rebuilding, the Patriots are off and running.
The hardest thing to accomplish in the NFL is to find or acquirea franchise quarterback. When the Patriots drafted Mac Jones last spring, they found a promising young quarterback who, it can be assumed, will be with New England for the next four seasons, health permitting. It remains to be seen how good Jones will be, but after a successful rookie campaign, the arrow is pointing up for the Patriots franchise
That brings us to this offseason.
The post-Tom Brady years have seen the Patriots go from a record of 7-9 to a 10-7, playoff-bound team.
