FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Danny Amendola is Bill Belichick's kind of player.
After battling injuries throughout 2016, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound receiver has had some of the best moments of his five-year Patriots' tenure during their past two playoff runs.
It started last year with his touchdown catch and game-tying 2-point conversion during New England's comeback win over Atlanta in the Super Bowl.
Amendola's been just as dependable this postseason. He caught 11 passes for a playoff career-high 112 yards in New England's divisional-round win over Tennessee.
He then hauled in two touchdown catches, including the winner, in the Patriots' AFC championship game win over Jacksonville.
