FOXBOROUGH — When Jalen Mills looks around his secondary, there’s one trait that stands out among the rest.
“I think it’s our versatility, man,” Mills said.
That ability to be multiple is why Mills believes the Patriots have the tools to succeed on the back end. Bill Belichick is notorious for confusing even the most veteran quarterbacks with disguises, and this season, he has a boatload of players that can line up all over the formation.
“This defense, this secondary has always been versatile, but I think it’s having guys like (Jon) Jones being able to go now both inside and inside,” Mills said.
