Jake Burt is as Massachusetts as clam chowdah and hating all things New York. He was born and raised in Lynnfield, attended St. John’s Prep in Danvers, and later spent five years at Boston College. Now, he is a member of the New England Patriots, and competing in his first ever training camp in the NFL just a 45-minute drive away from his hometown.
Times are obviously exciting for the 24-year-old, not only because he is trying to make a name for himself as an undrafted rookie free agent: Burt grew up a Patriots fan, sharing allegiance with the rest of his immediate family and friends.
