After an extremely hectic last year-plus, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will finally get a chance to catch his breath with his first full NFL offseason.
That will begin following Sunday's Pro Bowl, and speaking with ESPN's Adam Schefter on the field before the game, Jones was asked about his plans for the offseason.
“I think this offseason will be a big part of it, just getting stronger and cleaning up on my diet and all that,” he said. “There’s a lot that’s going to go into it before next season even starts, so that’s the important part: attacking that, and then hopefully a lot of big changes will come, whether it’s mechanics or the playbook.
“I have a lot of time now to kind of digest everything and kind of take it over how I want to do it.”
Diet?
“I like ice cream too much, like a lot of people,” Jones said. “But just limit it and then try to eat healthy, like we do with the Patriots. Every day, they give us great food, so I’ve just got to talk to Ted [Harper], our nutritionist, and make sure we’re on the same page.”
Jones will also need to establish a working relationship with whoever the Patriots hire as their new offensive coordinator.
