What the Patriots are saying about Jerod Mayo calling them ‘soft’

Three days have passed since Jerod Mayo said the Patriots have a soft football team across the board.

He has since clarified those comments, saying he meant to point out that the team was playing soft in the moment instead of calling them soft overall.

Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick weighed in, saying that the players are not soft. Injured center David Andrews said the comments were true and that the team should be fired up to prove Mayo wrong.

Now that the Patriots are back from London, several players were asked for their reactions to Mayo’s comments.
