The Patriots’ 2022 season was one to forget for Mac Jones, but teammate Jakobi Meyers says he’s proud of how the quarterback handled tough moments.
After putting together a rookie Pro Bowl campaign in 2021, Jones (and New England’s offense as a whole) regressed this fall, as injuries and poor execution stunted the quarterback’s growth.
But even though the season didn’t go as planned, Jones seemingly maintained the respect of New England’s locker room — especially his trusted target Meyers.
When asked on Monday what he learned about Jones this season, Meyers opted to focus more on the second-year quarterback’s ability to battle through adversity, even as some Patriots fans were calling for backup QB Bailey Zappe to play.
