As quarterback Brian Hoyer continues to be a mentor to New England Patriots rookie Mac Jones, the veteran has been giving the young signal-caller advice throughout the process. Some of the advice is even simpler than one might expect.
A 13-year veteran, Hoyer has been through NFL life and has seen it all. He also knows at the end of the day, it’s just a game.
With Jones coming off his first 300-yard passing game of his career, Hoyer continues to hammer home one important message for the rookie. As the relationship between Jones and Hoyer continues to grow, Hoyer is not afraid to offer tips.
“I’m telling him, ‘Dude, you’ve got to smile sometimes. This is supposed to be fun,’” Hoyer said. “To see him coming off, see a little emotion and energy this past week, we just have to keep improving and keep that going.”
With Jones looking to build on a solid rookie campaign to this point, cracking a smile may be needed as the wear and tear of the season begins to set in.
