Mac Jones expectations in Year 2: Can the trimmed down Patriots QB produce supersized production in 2022?

A better conditioned and more experienced Mac Jones could help turn the Patriots into a top-flight offense

Mac Jones' rookie season with the New England Patriots was by all accounts successful as he led all first-year players in completion percentage (67.6%), passing yards (3,801), passing touchdowns (22), and passer rating (92.5). The 15th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft and the fifth quarterback selected joined an elite club of rookies to have 3,500-plus passing yards and 20-plus passing touchdowns in their NFL debut season, just the 10th in league history. 2021 Mac Jones 2020 Justin Herbert 2019 Kyler Murray 2018  Baker Mayfield 2016 Dak Prescott 2015  Jameis Winston 2012 Andrew Luck 2011 Cam Newton 1998 Peyton Manning 1986  Jim Kelly 2016 Dak Prescott 67.8% 2021  Mac Jones 67.6% 2020  Justin Herbert 66.6% 2004 Ben Roethlisberger 66.4%
