“I’m a passer first. I want to be a passer in this league and you got to be a passer in this league to be successful,” Maye said earlier this month.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Marcus Jones marked the peak of the versatility Bill Belichick loved in his players with the New England Patriots. That’s a huge reason the legendary former head coach drafted Jones in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

A former Patriots defensive back reached the open market on the same day New England tweaked its cornerback depth chart.
