Patriots Minicamp Observations: Mac Jones' Deep Ball Shines On Day 1
The New England Patriots held their first of three mandatory minicamp practices Tuesday outside Gillette Stadium.
nesn.com
QB REPORT
What a day this was for Mac Jones.
Per NESN.com’s charting, the second-year quarterback went a perfect 14-for-14 in 7-on-7 drills and 11-for-12 in 11-on-11s. Jones, New England’s unquestioned No. 1 signal-caller, opened the day with 23 consecutive completions before misfiring to Nelson Agholor on his third-to-last attempt.
Included in Jones’ completions were three highlight-reel deep balls: a 50-yard bomb to wideout Tre Nixon over slot corner Jonathan Jones; a 25-yarder down the sideline to DeVante Parker, who made a nice contested catch over Jalen Mills; and a 20-yard corner to tight end Jonnu Smith, who beat Adrian Phillips.
All three were impressive throws by a player whose arm strength has been questioned.
Veteran backup Brian Hoyer went 4-for-6 with a pass breakup and a drop (by rookie running back Kevin Harris) in 7-on-7s, and 3-for-7 with an interception and three PBUs in 11s. Third-string rookie Bailey Zappe was 6-for-7 with an ugly interception to linebacker Jahlani Tavai in 7s and 1-for-3 in 11s, with a deep-ball breakup by Joejuan Williams that should have been picked.
Jones and Zappe were two of the last players off the field after practice.
PLAY OF THE DAY
Jones’ heave to Nixon was a beauty, beating tight coverage by Jonathan Jones. Nixon lined up in the slot on the play, ran a corner route and created just enough separation from the speedy cornerback for Jones to drop the ball in.
“(The throw was) amazing,” said Nixon, who made a sliding catch that left him with a scrape on his knee. “I can’t complain. He put it right on the money.”

As we agreed, that doesn't mean squat. Not that I am worried about it; I'm not.Lazar's Notebook: Patriots' Offensive Shift Continues as Mac Jones Lights Up Day One of Minicamp - CLNS Media

EDIT: I decided to edit this. Let's just say I am excited to read this...
As it should be.
No clue, yet.
Please, please please.

The whole paragraph on the Mac Jones
torching:
2. Pats QB Mac Jones Torches Defense in Team Drills
The best news coming out of spring practices for the Patriots is consistent excellence from their second-year quarterback. Jones is more in command, spraying the ball all over the field, and looks like he’s in terrific shape. At one point, Jones had a string of 23-straight completions, including deep throws to Tre Nixon, Jonnu Smith, and DeVante Parker during team drills. On the throw to Nixon, the Pats wideout faked a post route and ran a deep corner pattern to break away from Jon Jones and Devin McCourty. The throw, which dropped perfectly into Nixon’s hands, was a dime with plenty of zip to fit it between two defenders. Although it was a non-contact setting, Tuesday was one of the best practices I’ve ever seen by Jones.Got me all lit up.
Cheers, BostonTim

Any word on Pierre Strong at Mini-Camp? An article I just read said Brady discouraged Fournette from signing with the Pats last March. BB ended up drafting the fastest RB in the draft. Win-win as I see it. Brady gets his guy, we get a guy I like better, though given BB's penchant for not playing RBs their rookie year (except for Rhamondre) we won't see Strong until the 2023 season.

Leonard Fournette revealed Tom Brady was peeved the RB met with Patriots
“What’s your [expletive] doing up there?”

Meanwhile Fournette has gotten huge.

Bill really is taking more direct involvement in the offense. Playing his college position:

saw this on nfl live yesterday. love it!
I also read elsewhere that he was working with the starters, too. Interesting.
Is this just a matter of Jennings being the most senior of the rookies at the LB spot, but it isn't likely that he'll continue to work with the starters come August/September, onward? Or do they genuinely like him and he was boxed out by vets? Kinda bizarre, but color me intrigued.
Also curious if he's being used off the ball or at edge.
