The New England Patriots will likely pick a quarterback in the third round of the overall pick and that leaves the future of Mac Jones in doubt.
Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon has said that when Jones is in a good space, he is a top player.
"When Mac was comfortable, and he had a good system, he produced and he put up numbers," Judon told Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. "And when you said we scored 45-7 [against Cleveland in 2021], Mac Jones led that team. We know he can do it. He has to find his confidence, his stride, and get a rhythm under him. And it’s going to be difficult. It’s his fourth [offensive coordinator] in four years.
"Nah, I think once you catch a stride, catch a rhythm—that’s what they were talking about with Baker [Mayfield]," Judon said. "Now we’re talking about [Mayfield] being one of the first people off the board in free agency."
Jones made the Pro Bowl ad a rookie when he threw 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He has 24 in the next two years, so his output has halved, and the Patriots are 8-17 when he starts.
