When a reporter asked Bill Belichick Wednesday about former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi making guest appearances at training camp practices, the New England head coach started off his answer in typical Belichick fashion: “Well, those players are welcome…it’s great to see them.”
But even he couldn’t deny there was something special about Bruschi, whose storied career in Foxborough embodies the “Patriot Way” as much as arguably player (save maybe one).
Bruschi has visited training camp practice on two occasions during camp — once last Thursday and again on Tuesday, which marked the Patriots’ first padded practice of the summer.
