"Maye is obviously at the top of the list after setting a franchise record for completion percentage (72.0) and also leading the entire NFL in both yards per attempt and QB rating, but it's been impossible not to notice the impact of Marcus Jones on the Patriots' other two phases: defense and special teams. Jones finished tied for the league in yards per punt return, averaging a career-high 17.3 yards while taking two of his 21 attempts to the house for touchdowns."
"There's really nothing on the football field that Jones can't do, as Patriots fans will always remember his jaw-dropping, 48-yard touchdown reception against the Buffalo Bills back in 2022. But he now has a clearly defined role for head coach Mike Vrabel, whose front office made what now looks like a brilliant decision back in late October."
Drake Maye set a franchise record for completion percentage (72.0) and led the NFL in yards per attempt and QB rating while helping the Patriots to a 14-3 regular season. Marcus Jones averaged a career-high 17.3 yards per punt return with two touchdowns on 21 attempts and tied for the league in return average. Jones logged 65 total tackles, three interceptions (one for a touchdown), multiple sacks including two in the finale, and seven tackles for loss, tying a Patriots cornerback single-season mark. The team extended Jones on Oct. 28 through 2028 for $17.5 million after drafting him in 2022.
