If there is one thing that is widely known about Bill Belichick, it's that he not the most expressive guy.
Yet, the Patriots arrived in Germany early Friday morning, and as Belichick spoke to the media later that day, he certainly made things entertaining.
With a smile on his face, cracking numerous jokes, Belichick's mood was one that everyone noticed and enjoyed.
And it didn't go unnoticed by Patriots quarterback Mac Jones.
"Yeah, a little bit," Jones said when asked if he noticed a more giddy Belichick. "I think he’s definitely happy to be here and sounds like he’s having a good time with you guys. We’re all excited to be here and it’s a very unique experience for the game of football, for Germany, the United States and everybody. It’s really cool."
Jabrill Peppers also recognized Belichick's attitude.
Here are some of the highlight moments from Bill Belichick's Friday Press Conference:
Q: You have quite some Germans on your teams during the last 10-15 years with Seabass [Sebastian Vollmer], Jakob [Johnson] and Markus [Kuhn]. What did you learn about Germany and German culture from them?
Belichick: "I learned that when they were saying things to me under their breath in German, it probably wasn’t complimentary.
No, they were all great to coach. I loved all three of those players. It’s just that Markus, you know, we didn’t have very long with his injury. Seabass we drafted, he had a great career with us, and Jakob came as an international player and developed into a solid NFL player. He’s had a great career. So, those guys are all – the three of them – very hard-working, smart, great teammates, good team players, very unselfish and honestly a pleasure to coach."
Q: In my 23 years (that) I've been a Patriots fan, I’ve never seen a love so much. I think Germany is good for you. How are you feeling in Germany?
Belichick: "Love is in Germany. I’ve heard that a couple of times. People are great – beautiful, friendly. Thank you. I appreciate your hospitality."
And Mac Jones even had fun with one reporter:
Seems like this trip might be just what the Patriots needed.
