CHARLOTTE — When Patrick Jones II signed with the Panthers during free agency, it was a chance to come home. The veteran linebacker has grown up all over the world, but Charlotte is the place he considers closest to his heart. It's where his family lives, and where he spent every summer growing up.
And just as importantly for the avid fisherman, it's the place where he first learned to fish, in the small pond behind his grandparents house.
That pond is still Jones' favorite place to drop a pole, and any day he has free, he'll make the short drive to his grandparents place and spend time on the water. Spend a day with Pat at his spot, in the new episode of Blueprint Shorts.
Make sure to watch the full episode of Blueprint here, and read more about Pat Jones day on the water here.
