Patriots PR Gunner Olszewski is worried about some of his teammates in the snow.
Patriots wideout and punt return superstar Gunner Olszewski may look like a California boy, but rest assured, he knows exactly how to prepare for New England-style snow spectacles.
The kid’s an Alvin, TX native who played college ball at Bemidji State (of course he did) at cornerback (of course he did), and no doubt experienced plenty of bleak winter practices in the middle of Minnesota.
Practices he likely drove to sleeveless.
So this week’s winter storm warnings were no big whoop to Olszewski, who’s seen all of this before — and likely in much more intense fashion up north. But he’s not terribly confident in the ability of some of his teammates to navigate the snowfall. And so he’s just got one piece of advice: Choose your cars carefully.
Gunner Olszewski on the upcoming snow storm: If you drive a Chevy you're good, if you drive a Ford those are the guys I worry about.

Get a Chevy Uber if you have to.
Hey, was this a paid promotion? Does Chevrolet do embedded marketing now? Is Gunner an influencer?
In terms of tread on his tires, Olszewski the player seems to be just getting revved up, posting the best game of his returning career two weeks ago against the Chargers. Snow or nothing, he’s no doubt extremely ready to blaze through opposing special teamers against the Jets and Bills, and wants to make sure all his teammates are equally prepared.
Not for nothing, but Patriots fans will also love the man Olszewski credited for his improved punt returning: Pats legend Troy Brown.
Gunner was asked about how Troy Brown has helped coach him on punt returns this year.

"He's back there with me every step of the way. ... Every punt I catch, Troy's right behind me."
I now lobby for all of Gunner's PR stats to be added to Brown's career numbers. Only fair. pic.twitter.com/LvCVO3nWqm
We told you his services would come in handy this summer when Belichick announced his increased role on this coaching staff, and now it’s paying dividends.
Huh. Wonder if Brown’s a Chevy or a Ford guy? Better not ask. Such a betrayal at this time could throw off Gunner’s axis of trust.
Stay safe, Pats Nation. Only drive if you have to.
