Jonnu Smith should be more prepared for his second New England Patriots season than he was for his first.
In addition to now having a full year of experience in New England’s offense, the underwhelming big-money tight end reportedly is taking a different approach this offseason.
Smith plans to attend and fully participate in voluntary organized team activities in the coming months after choosing to skip those last year, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Monday. Smith sat out 2021 OTAs as he awaited the birth of his daughter.
Smith arrived at Gillette Stadium for mandatory minicamp last June, but an injury limited his participation.
