Bill Belichick has been relatively mum about the Patriots’ season-opening win, but he was willing to give some high marks to one of their standouts in their 16-10 triumph over the Bengals.
In the most recent episode of “Inside the NFL,” former Patriots defensive end Chris Long nominated Patriots edge rusher Keion White as his “Football Guy” of Week 1. With fellow “Inside the NFL” panelists Ryan Clark nominating 49ers running back Jordan Mason and Chad Johnson nominating Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, Belichick picked Long’s nomination for the “Football Guy” of Week 1.
“I gotta give it to Keion White,” Belichick said.
