There’s not an open QB competition, but Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe clearly are both fighting for their place

FOXBOROUGH — Patriots fans have heard plenty about how hard their young, hungry quarterback has been working this offseason. Mac Jones barely took time off this winter and spring going into his third season, remaining in Foxborough and training on his own before joining the team for voluntary workouts in April.

But the Patriots actually have young, hungry quarterbacks, emphasis on the plural. Bailey Zappe also remained for much of the offseason, leaving only to shuttle off to Dallas to work a few times with his private QB coach.

“I used a lot of flyer miles back and forth,” Zappe said.
