FOXBOROUGH — It was easy to recognize the latest addition to the Patriots' practice squad.
Brock Vereen, the second year safety out of Minnesota, looks like his older brother, Shane. And he sounds exactly like him.
In a brief interview Friday, Vereen described the environment in the Pats' locker room as "very professional," adding, "as cliche as that sounds."
"It's easy to see why they're so successful here," Vereen said.
Vereen appeared in all 16 games as a rookie with Chicago last year. He played in three for the Bears this season before he was waived on Sept.
