Fewer Skittles could help Falcons' Deion Jones maintain his beast mode

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons middle linebacker Deion Jones couldn't help but laugh while talking about changing up his diet.

Coach Dan Quinn said he wants Jones to put on 5 to 6 pounds going into the 2017 season. So a couple weeks ago, Jones started following a game plan put together by the team nutritionist.

“It's a grind, so I have to eat right and I have to eat more,” Jones told ESPN. ”I eat a lot, but I just feel it hasn't been all the right stuff.”

So what does Jones need to cut out of his diet?
