Christmas was just over a week ago, but it was still a topic with Mac Jones during his appearance Monday on Merloni & Fauria.
The Patriots rookie was asked what he received for a gift and had an interesting answer -- a flashlight from his girlfriend.
“I needed one for the house, and she delivered," he said.
Jones did better than that for his offensive linemen, as he reportedly got them a few things, including Bitcoin along with hand-written letters that included some inside jokes.
“Obviously, it’s important to get the big guys something for Christmas," he said. "We just put together a little gift basket with a bunch of different things and that happened to be one of the things. It was just a lot of fun. They deserve it. It was really cool.”
Why the hand-written letters?
“When you’re giving a someone a gift, you just want to show them that you appreciate them and a written letter is always a good way to do it," Jones said.
(Listen to the full interview below, including being asked about New Year's resolutions at end.)
The Patriots clinched a spot in the playoffs on Sunday and will take on the Dolphins in the regular-season finale next week.
“Every team has goals when they start the year and we talked about it early on and just focusing on each week," Jones said. "I’m not necessarily going to talk about the playoffs or anything, but when that comes we’re going to approach it the same way we have every week. For this week, the most important game is this week. That’s what we’re going to focus on.”
