Patriots QB Mac Jones Delivers Big Message After Viral 70-Yard Throw

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones shocked opponents with a deep throw and this was a clear message for those who doubt his potential.

The Alabama quarterback launched a 70-yarder to a YMCA Metro West and NOBULL youth clinic camp participant and his message was clear. He is ready for the new season! Jones joined campers at the football skills clinic and was happy with the experience.

“Training camp right around the corner. Let’s get to work,” the Patriots quarterback said on Twitter. “Go Pats.”

Who says you’ve gotta wait two weeks to see some Patriots football, huh?!?

Jones does what he loves the most. This is the determination we need heading into the new season.

“Sports is a great way to unify people, that’s something I’ve always believed in,” the quarterback said in the Patriots’ video.

Jones to keep the Patriots at a high level with his throw game

Jones was great in his debut with the Patriots but struggled last season. The quarterback faced a big challenge and even suffered an injury in the middle of the season. NFL analysts wouldn’t write him off and many expect a big season for the Patriots signal-caller. Adam Rank is one of them and reminded everyone that the Patriots need Jones’ best performance in 2023.

“So his 2022 wasn’t all that great,” Rank wrote. “But I think that might have been partly because of the, um, unorthodox situation at offensive coordinator, with defensive assistants Joe Judge and Matt Patricia splitting McDaniels’ old job before Patricia took on the role of play-caller, a setup that eventually led to Jones venting some frustration in a very public manner.

“Jones was also hampered by a high ankle sprain early in the season that cost him some time; it’s worth noting he got better down the stretch, logging 11 touchdown passes against just four picks in his final nine games.

“The offensive coordinator position has been addressed, as we will discuss further in a moment. Setting aside the question of when — if ever — Jones might approach the upper echelon of quarterbacks that his predecessor in New England ruled for so long, there is a real chance for him to still be a good NFL QB.”
