FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Marcus Jones did not hold back regarding his feelings about roller coasters.
The New England Patriots captain was heavily featured in the team's iconic schedule release video, which was filmed at Six Flags. As the players went on the roller coasters, they were tasked with shouting the names of every opponent for the upcoming season.
For Jones, it was quite the experience.
"Basically, I haven't rode a roller coaster in a very long time," Jones told reporters on Tuesday. "I'd probably say like 15, 14 years, and I love my feet being on the ground, and I like being in control."
And he learned that he's not a fan.
"That situation was a great experience, you know, a lot of laughter that came into it, but I'm gonna be honest, like I was serious on those rides, guys," Jones added. "I'm not a fan, but I'm glad it came out like that. The media team put in a lot of hard-working hours into it, so I loved the situation of all of it for sure."
So, how did they convince him to do it?
"Just a tad bit of peer pressure, so they got me," he explained. "I was just like, guys, I'm just not, my heart racing, my adrenaline rushing and everything, and I've been in situations to where my adrenaline rushes when I run back a punt return, but that's a little different. But that's how they got me."
But, while he was sitting there a little scared, there were others who were completely unbothered by the experience.
"I think it was me and Craig," Jones said when asked who was the funniest during the Six Flags adventure. "I would say the people I mean, of course, I gotta say, myself, guys, me and Craig, I would say the people that weren't, you know, kept a straight fact like TreVeyon ... that's the problem. People get on roller coasters to make facial expressions, not to sit there and just not make any. So him, and then Gonzo was pretty cool too.
"I don't know how you guys be all cool, calm and collected, but that's not my forte at all."
