The coaching setup will have a big impact on Mac Jones. The process of installing the offense has been acollaborative one with the coaches and players talking in meetings. I think that will lead to more ownership from him about what he sees.

Most agree with McDaniels' excellence. It was as high of a compliment as he could give when he compared him to Alabama's Nick Saban. Jones' development as a first-year player was influenced by the work done by McDaniels.

The game is mostly in the players' hands once the football kicks off.

In that sense, the rise of the two men was aided by the stellar second season of the quarterback.

Los Angeles had a chance to make the playoffs in the second season of quarterback Justin Herbert's career.

For his part, Griffin sees championship potential from Jones, picking him over the other quarterbacks in the Class of 2021. Lance was put into the wild-card category because he sat on the bench as a first-year player.

Mac Jones is MOST LIKELY to win a ring FIRST of the rookie QBs who played serious time last year. Bill Belichick and the @Patriots are defensive masterminds, out coach other teams and Mac Attack will stretch the field more after last year has his confidence on ROLL TIDE LEVELS.

Another aspect of the New England's coaching change that could help Jones was highlighted.

It's hard to game plan against early in the year if you don't know who the coordinators is. The staff will get its footing early in the year thanks to that. It's an advantage to the patriots.

There are two JMac's take is that the former defensive back views it differently than the current one.

Nobody on the team will say anything in the media. During his recent guest-hosting appearance on the "Good Morning Football" show, he said that it has to be. If you're Mac Jones, who will run the plays this week?

There are three. A conditioning test is what Deatrich Wise Jr. will get for his birthday this month. The day veterans report for training camp is July 26th.

By now, I am used to it. It's been close to his birthday every year since he graduated college.

He said he puts in six hours of work a day at Gillette Stadium.

There are four. Matthew Slater, the longest tenured player in the team, has been at the stadium a few times. His dedication to his craft remains as strong as ever as he celebrates his 37th birthday on September 9.

There are five. In accepting the Spirit of Tewaaraton award last month for his contributions to lacrosse, he spoke of how overwhelmed he was, in part due to the fact that the late Welles Crowther was a previous winner. As he spoke, he pulled a red bandanna from his back pocket.

I felt it hit me really hard. I felt it hit me hard. Alison Crowther said from her home in New York that she was shocked. He's a coach who has a lot of success and prominence. I was completely shocked. I cried while sitting there. I didn't think he'd know the story of Welles.

Crowther saved as many as 18 lives when he was a volunteer firefighter in New York. Crowther was a lacrosse player at Boston College.

Crowther died because he helped save others.

Alison says that schools and corporations are inspired by her son's story when she speaks to them. The treasure I have is that one. He is still alive in the spirit of so many people.

Alison was surprised when he mentioned him. She didn't have a previous relationship with the man.

He's a really tough guy. Don't ever smile. He had a lot of love in what he said. She said it was gorgeous.

There are six. Cole Strange, the team's first-round offensive lineman, and the rest of the rookies finished the league's transition program in July after the team's summer program ended in June. It helps orient rookies to local resources, club culture, history, leadership and expectations, with the NFL making sure that all teams cover 15 mandatory topics. A week before most veterans, the rookies will get a break before reporting for training camp.

We project the final 53 man rosters for the 32 teams of the National Football League. There are projections.

There are seven. He said he'll be watching how the team finishes the season after he assessed a top area for the team to contend for the title against the Bills. He pointed out that the team's combined record after the holiday over the past three seasons was 8-9.

The challenge of turning around that trend is added to by the fact that the Pats play at least one game after Thanksgiving.

There are eight. The three-time national champion Boston Renegades received a New England-based lift ahead of Sunday's Women's Football Alliance title game against the Minnesota Vixen. The program airs on the Disney Channel (2. The plane for the trip was provided by the owner, as well as a speech by the quarterback before they left.

There are nine. When Richard Seymour is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, he will be receiving a presentation from a man who was the principal at his high school.

He's a pillar in the community in South Carolina and a proud supporter of mine. Seymour said it was a great way to tie his roots and what was important to him. He is more than a principal. He knows the families of all the children that went there. He was a person who cared about what people were doing. It was a full time job for him.

There are ten. Josh Allen is the only one of the four quarterbacks still with his original team.
