A full year before Mac Jones began working with Joe Judge, the New England Patriots quarterback impressed his new assistant coach.
Jones and Judge shared the same practice field during training camp in 2021. They were both in very different spots in their career. Jones, the 15th overall pick in the 2021 draft, was in a position battle with quarterback Cam Newton, which the rookie would eventually win. Judge, meanwhile, was in his second season coaching New York, a job he would eventually lose.
It appears they’ll be working together every day, with Judge working with the quarterbacks in 2022 as a Patriots coaching assistant.
