Mobile, Ala. — Jaguars general manager David Caldwell has tried to implement some aspects of the “Patriots Way” since taking over in Jacksonville.
After spending 2008-12 in Atlanta working under GM Thomas Dimitroff, who had been with New England from 2002-07, Caldwell saw what it was like to implement some of the Patriots’ methods on a different team.
When Caldwell took over in Jacksonville in 2013, he tried to bring some of those same ideas, along with those he learned for a decade working with Bill Polian in Indianapolis, so he understands the challenges new Lions GM Bob Quinn faces as he tries to improve Detroit’s franchise.
