FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Mac Jones has an image of himself in his storage. No, it's anything but an issue of vanity. Going against the norm, it's a bad dream of a picture.

The photograph is attached up on the back mass of the storage and looks straight at Jones. It's from the New England Patriots' misfortune to the Buffalo Bills in the postseason. In the photograph, Jones' head is low. He's strolling off the field while Bills players celebrate behind the scenes. In pink highlighter, somebody has composed the score of the game: 47-17. In that defeat, Jones tossed for 232 yards, two scores and two captures.

The picture is certain when Jones will work and when he leaves. The photograph communicates something specific.

"I've seen that image," running back Rhamondre Stevenson said. "It's not exactly off my psyche all things considered. Definitely, it was our last game. That is the manner by which we finished a year ago. So we got to work off that. Furthermore, I believe that is only an inspiration calculate what we got to do this year."

Jones is certainly not a patient young fellow.

To say it all the more thoughtfully, he has an interesting direness to defeat obstructions. At the point when he joined the Patriots, Jones would have rather not been the reinforcement, so he held onto the gig from occupant starter Cam Newton. At the point when Jones landed the beginning position, he stayed hungry to find out more — voracious to win more. So the Patriots completed 10-7. He was difficult for himself after misfortunes, frequently freely attacking himself in postgame question and answer sessions. Also, in the storage space with his colleagues, he did likewise, with veterans at times picking him back up. He isn't effectively fulfilled.

Positioning the sophomore QBs

The NFL has five high-profile sophomore quarterbacks this season with Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, 49ers QB Trey Lance, Patriots QB Mac Jones, Bears QB Justin Fields and Jets QB Zach Wilson. Scratch Wright talks about which one will have the greatest year, and which one will have the best group proceeding.

"He takes losing individual. He takes botches individual," collector Jakobi Meyers said. "That is exactly the very thing you escape him: a person who genuinely cherishes what he does. Furthermore, I mean, it's not difficult to play with a person who loves playing football."

Jones' dad, Gordon, was not astounded to catch wind of the image. Quite recently Jones' mom, Holly, strolled into Mac's apartment at Alabama to find an assortment of negative web-based entertainment posts and articles on the rear of his entryway. Alabama mentor Nick Saban told the Jones family that online entertainment fills in as "rodent harming." Whether the stages bring recognition or analysis, the message is consistently poisonous in volume. But, Jones posted a portion of the web-based entertainment inside his space to keep him alert and awake.

Now and again, toxic substance can be really great for you.

"He can involve that as a positive — simply use it as a fuel truly to get to where he needs to get," Gordon said. "Clearly, you had a very decent year for a first-year quarterback and making the Pro Bowl, had a triumphant season, get to the end of the season games. All that is great. Also, that could resemble the rodent poison. He pays attention to it, and he could say, 'Hello, we arrived.' But [instead he says,] 'I believe we should improve.' And this [photo from the Bills' game] is an update that we didn't exactly get where we needed to get the year before.'"

It's fascinating to see a photograph of a game from last year, to some degree, since it doesn't precisely correspond — by all accounts — with Bill Belichick's way of thinking: On to 2022. On to the Miami Dolphins (whom the Patriots play in Week 1). On to the following thing. Yet, Belichick isn't as aggressor with his players about that message as he is with the media. He has frequently posted negative paper articles about the Patriots inside the office and, while they're voyaging, around the inn. He won't hesitate to help the group to remember its deficiencies when he thinks it'll improve the group.
