Mac Jones’ Dad Bod is  no more.

New England Patriots teammates are even noticing a new slimmed down Mac Jones as the quarterback enters his second season with the team.

“He’s in the best shape of his life,” receiver Kendrick Bourne said Monday. “He looks really good. His stomach is gone. “When you’re a rookie, you just don’t know it until you go through it for a year. So he’s definitely a lot more in shape than he ever was, just dominating in conditioning. It’s dope to see.”

Jones told reporters how he lost his Dad Bod:

“I just cleaned up my diet,” the 6-foot-3, 214-pound Jones said after Monday’s practice. “I’ve learned more this offseason than I probably ever have about nutrition, sleep, wellness, all that stuff.

“At the same time, I need to be able to maintain my weight and be able to take hits. There’s a fine balance for every player. I’ve definitely trimmed down on the body fat, and I’ll get a chance to bulk up before the season starts and be able to absorb hits.”

We’ll see if  Mac is able to add some muscle to his slimmed down build.

Dad bod or not, the biggest issue with Mac’s game might be his arm.  It’s not the best, and last season they didn’t really let him do much down the field.

Of course the Pats don’t have the greatest collection of wide receivers. We’ll see how Mac fares without the Dad bod.
