Coach Bill Belichick noted Friday that he "absolutely" feels the same way about Jones as he did prior to training camp last season, at which time he complimented the QB's progress, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
The Patriots have added Trace McSorley to a QB group that also includes Jones and Bailey Zappe, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
After leading Alabama to a national championship, the first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was good enough to start as a rookie and make the Pro Bowl. He is an accurate thrower who can hit receivers in stride, and he has a good feel for pressure in the pocket and how to evade it. He is not much of a risk-taker and will take a sack to avoid interceptions. Needs to get a little stronger and improve his release time as he ages.
Long Range Potential: Solid, mature quarterback who needs talent around him.
