President Donald Trump was asked about the upcoming NFL season while at the Patriot Games this Tuesday.
During a brief interview with ESPN's Laura Rutledge, the president of the United States was asked which NFL teams he's keeping an eye on this fall. He started off his answer by showing support for Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots.
Trump also mentioned the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams as teams to monitor this season.
"I think New England looks good," Trump said. "I think the Giants, I like their quarterback a lot. They say the L.A. Rams are looking very strong. I better not get into this too much! I'm gonna get myself in trouble if I do."

Jaxson Dart showed his support for Trump earlier this year.
Back in May, fans had a lot to say about Dart introducing Trump at a campaign event at Rockland Community College.
Dart, who had 2,272 passing yards, 487 rushing yards and 24 total touchdowns as a rookie, defended his decision to introduce Trump. He referred to it as a "unique" opportunity that shouldn't impact the Giants' locker room.
"This was a unique opportunity. You know, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the President of the United States, you know, my thinking was pretty simple. And the fact of, you know, I’ve always loved this country," Dart told reporters. "I have extended family members who have fought in wars. I have two uncles who have retired from the Air Force Academy, and served themselves. And I have a great grandfather who served as Secretary of Treasury at some point. So the president position has always been a position that I have always respected, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party, and my intentions were just that."
Who knows? Maybe the president will attend the Giants' season opener on Sept. 13.
