Over the past week or so, a few Alabama players have relayed that Nick Saban loves to make "deez nuts" jokes.
During his appearance on Merloni & Fauria Monday afternoon, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones confirmed that is in fact accurate.
“Oh yeah. I definitely know about it," he said. "I think it’s kind of his thing. He’s been doing it for awhile. I think he maybe needs to get some new ones.”
Jones added: “He’ll get you. He’s serious and then he'll be like, ‘Hey, whatever’ and hit you with one of those jokes. You’ll just catch it out of the blue and you’re just kind of like, ‘Woah, that just happened.' He’s been doing that for as long as I was there and probably well before, too.”
For the record, Jones didn't have a favorite joke of Bill Belichick's just yet.
The Patriots rookie played for Saban at Alabama from 2017-20.
