Mac Jones approached disastrous 2nd season with ‘arrogance’: Eric Mangini

Former Patriots coach Eric Mangini “appreciates” how Mac Jones is approaching his third season in New England following a heavily scrutinized sophomore campaign.

But it’s taking a bit of an attitude adjustment to get there.

During a conversation with Trey Wingo of the 33rd Team, Mangini tipped his hat to Jones, who said last week that he wants to “earn the respect of everybody in this building again.”

However, the ex-Patriots coordinator — and former Jets head coach — found there was “a “little arrogance to the way” the University of Alabama product “approached things” in his second year in the league.
