NFL expert explains why Mac Jones is his ‘dark horse’ MVP candidate

As Mac Jones transitions from Year 1 to Year 2, many expect the Patriots quarterback to build upon a strong rookie season and look even sharper this year.

The Patriots are reportedly “ecstatic” with his offseason dedication, and it’s clear Jones has at least a chance to move into the upper echelon of NFL QBs in the near future.

One NFL expert, Peter Schrager of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football,” took it even further. He chose Jones as his “dark horse” Most Valuable Player candidate. No, Schrager isn’t picking Jones as his MVP, but yes, he regards him as a player who could possibly sneak into the conversation.
