Trent Brown has been a fan of Mac Jones since he first suited up for the New England Patriots. - Brown, who just re-signed on a two-year deal, discussed Jones’ poise and ability to lead throughout the entire offseason last year. He also discussed his love for the Patriots and the joy he had in his return following the stint he had with the Las Vegas Raiders. - Jones was a vocal leader that was willing to yell and critique teammates despite his rookie status. During an interview on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take,” Brown was asked if teammates took it the wrong way when Jones scolded them. - “Hell no, nobody doing that. If you f— up, you f— up. You gotta be a man and take it on the chin. Can’t be out here being sensitive,” Brown said, via Khari Thompson of Boston.com. - “If you’re the quarterback of the team, you’re the leader of the locker room, for sure. No matter what your age may say, you gotta handle your business accordingly.” - Brown explains how he found joy in playing for the Patriots. - “That’s one of the things I love most about New England. They always pretty much let me be me, let me play my game…as long as it’s within the system. Pretty much everything goes,” he said. - He also called Dante Scarnecchia the “best” offensive line coach ever and detailed the origin of their relationship. - “Jacksonville, my first time with the Patriots, he just cursed my ass out on the sideline one time. That wasn’t a good game for me,” he said. “Next week at practice, he cursed me out at practice. Some people would get down about it, I was like, ‘challenge accepted.’ From that point on, it’s probably the best football I ever played. And we just kinda grew to love each other.” - Re-signing Brown this offseason was potentially the team’s strongest move due to a number of different reasons. - - List - - Bill Belichick's offseason plan is all about excruciating patience - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Patriots Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Patriots Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
