Kyle Van Noy and Bill Belichick traded compliments: While he’s no longer a coach in the NFL, Bill Belichick’s legacy is certainly alive and well. In some cases, it’s represented in players who have backgrounds in New England and continue to thrive in 2024.
One of the best examples of this is Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who at 33 years old is among the league leaders with six sacks in four games. Acquired by the Patriots in a 2016 trade, Van Noy grew into a versatile role in New England, helping the late-stage dynasty era defense to accomplish great things (including multiple Super Bowl wins).
