What It Means:

Jones said he made "significant strides" in his diet this offseason, stating, "I think it's important to assess everything and that was one of the things I wanted to improve." He added It all goes back into just trying to be a better player and person, that was my goal this offseason. I feel better, I feel confident, and that's what's important. I'm just gonna try and go in there and do my thing and lead everybody and help us come together as a unit." After spending his rookie training camp in a quarterback competition with Cam Newton, Jones will enter this offseason as New England's starter from Day 1.
