FOXBOROUGH, Mass – The weather forecast for the New England Patriots game on Sunday against the New York Jets is something that fans are pretty used to. And even some veteran players as well.
However, for some of the rookies, this is not something they have experienced before.
It could be the first snow game of the season, and it's fitting that it will land on the last game of the Patriots' season. So with that, the older players wanted to make sure that each rookie was prepared.
Following practice on Wednesday, multiple players were spotted holding orange-and-black snow brushes. And Douglas spoke with ESPN's Mike Reiss about the gift.
Honestly, when this was right here, I thought they wanted us to clean up,” Douglas told Reiss. “I’m from Florida, so I’m new to this right here, for sure.”
Being from Florida and having gone to school in Virginia, it's clear why snow is a bit of a new concept to him.
But the best was when Douglas admitted that he didn't even know how to use the "snow scrapper." Multiple reporters jumped in, showing him how.
Hopefully he'll be good to go on Sunday and have no problems getting to the stadium.
The Patriots have played some historic games in the snow, so when the rookies got drafted to New England, they had to know this was going to be a possibility. And despite Douglas not being familiar with this type of weather, he is excited about the new challenge.
"I am," Douglas said when asked if he's ready for the game. "I've never played in snow before."
