Mel Kiper Jr. believes Mac Jones was dealt 'bad hand' by Patriots
Our Summary
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. believes that New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was dealt a "bad hand" by the team. Kiper pointed out that Jones had to work with different coordinators and a lackluster receiving corps, as well as an offensive line that didn't provide much support. Jones struggled last season and was eventually benched. The Patriots' offense as a whole struggled, ranking 30th in the league in yards per game. The team now has options in the offseason, including sticking with Jones or potentially using their No. 3 overall pick to find a new quarterback.
