Jones was the first quarterback Bill Belichick has ever selected in the first round of the draft, and he’s been turning heads in training camp, as well as exhibition play. As for Cam Newton, well, last season was one of the worst of his career, production-wise, and there was initially talk of him not even returning this year.

“I just got a text from somebody within the Patriots organization who pointed out that Mac Jones is handling things ‘very well, very smart, very hard worker, steady progress,” he reported. “These are all the things behind the scenes that you want to feel about Mac Jones.”
He continued:
“Yes, it matters what we personally see in practice and preseason games, but what’s happening behind the scenes in that building, the fact that he’s making that type of progress, to me, tells you that: Yes, this is a competition.”
