Things are looking up for the New England Patriots.
After a one-year absence, the Patriots returned to the playoffs last season with a 10-7 record.
However, they lost by a huge margin to the Buffalo Bills during their Wild Card encounter.
Still, the Patriots can use that experience to re-establish their position as legitimate title contenders.
They do have the personnel to make that happen with Deatrich Wise, Christian Barmore, Matthew Judon, Malcolm Butler, and Devin McCourty on defense.
They also have talented players on offense in Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith, Kendrick Bourne, and Damien Harris.
However, that side of the ball lives and dies depending on how quarterback Mac Jones performs.
Among last season’s rookie quarterbacks, he was the one who reached the farthest.
The former Alabama standout also had solid numbers of 3,801 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Indeed, there is much room for improvement for the 15th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
But personally, he would like to make the jump to an elite quarterback by undergoing an impressive physical transformation.
Mac Jones been in the lab 👀💪

B/R Gridiron showed the difference between Jones’ body at Alabama and his current physique.
He definitely looks buff in his current body which can spell trouble for opposing teams.
It’s like he lived in the weight room and continued to lift until he saw results.
Better Physique, Better Performance
His chiseled body will help him deal with quarterback hits better.
He will also have the strength to break tackles if their play breaks down and he needs to take off by himself.
More importantly, it shows his commitment to becoming the best player for the Patriots.
Jones continues to shock the NFL world, first by beating Cam Newton for the starting role last year.
This season, he is coming into the field as a jacked quarterback.
What surprises does he have in store for Patriots fans this upcoming season?
