From 6 a.m. texts to criticism, Pats’ Jones taking it all in

Associated Press  

— One thing rookie quarterback Mac Jones has learned during his infant New England Patriots career is that no matter the situation, his coaches want to see confidence in everything he does on the field. Today was obviously a rainy day, but you come out and you attack today, and then tomorrow’s tomorrow,” Jones said. “We’re all learning from each other whether it’s a text at night, or whatever, they’re always there if I have a question, or we have group chats, stuff like that so everything can balance off each other,” Jones said. “Every day’s a new day, but you’ve got to get better, pick something to get better at every day, whether it’s bending my knees or focus my eyes, whatever it is, try to do something,” he said. “I think in terms of our team, everyone has their personal choice, and we’re all just trying to make the right decision to keep everyone protected,” Jones said.
