New England Patriots: This RGIII Mac Jones Tweet is Super Bowl worthy
New England Patriots second-year quarterback Mac Jones is doing everything it takes to get better both on the field and off the field.
Within his commitment to get in better shape this offseason, Jones has shown a dedication to forming chemistry with his receivers.
There has been many social media post of the Patriots quarterback working out with his playmakers. There has also been a couple of posts showcasing the work Mac Jones has put in on his body.
To top that all off former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III tweeted out that Jones is the second-year quarterback in the best position to win a Super Bowl. Now, this could seem obvious given Bill Belichick is his coach, but Mac’s talent is more of the reason RGIII believes in the Alabama product.
Mac Jones is MOST LIKELY to win a ring FIRST of the rookie QBs who played serious time last year. Bill Belichick and the @Patriots are defensive masterminds, out coach other teams and Mac Attack will stretch the field more after last year has his confidence on ROLL TIDE LEVELS.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is committed to improving his game
Coming off a solid rookie season, Mac Jones by far had a better season than last year’s top rookie quarterback picks. While Trevor Lawrence showcased some of his talent on a losing team, both Zach Wilson and Justin Fields looked like they didn’t even belong on the field at times. And the jury is still out on San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance.
Then there was Jones, who not only led his team to a winning record, but also earned a Pro Bowl nod. Whether you believe that Pro Bowl nod was legit or not, just the eye test of Jones shows a quarterback who will be successful in the league as he gains more experience.

As a quarterback more mobile than some would think, the one aspect of his game he needs to work on is pushing the ball downfield like he did during his days at Alabama. Now that the Patriots have a few more targets who can stretch the field in DeVante Parker and 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton, Patriots fans and Mac Jones critics should see more of Jones attacking opposing defenses deep.
But the mark of a good quarterback is his ability to take what the defense gives him. What got Lawrence and Wilson in trouble is that they did force the ball down the field, which led to mistakes and interceptions at times. Jones, behind the guidance of ex-offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels learned to pick his spots with going down field.
dark. Next. 13 players Bill Belichick, New England Patriots need to make leaps in 2022
In all, it’s hard not to enthusiastically agree with Griffin III that Jones would be the first of the 2021 quarterback class to hoist a Lombardi Trophy. It could come sooner than some may think if Belichick works his magic and pulls a great defense out of his hat (wanted to say something else there).
It also depends on how much and how quickly the New England Patriots young quarterback transcends his ability to make players around him better.
