As he showed off in last Thursday night's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers with a 55-yard touchdown, Jonas Gray has been working on his speed.
While he said after the game that part of his extra burst was due to a small weight loss he experienced over the offseason, Gray's focus to gain an extra step has been part of the plan all along.
"I think it's just a mindset," Gray said after Monday's practice behind the fields of Gillette Stadium. "When you feel lighter, you play a lot faster. That physical part of my game is never going to leave.
