Matt Light thought a 2007 email from Bill Belichick was a prank. It led to a humorous exchange.

Matt Light’s “most treasured” possession is an email exchange with Bill Belichick: Former Patriots left tackle Matt Light was a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams during his 11 years with New England.

Yet for all of the wins and accomplishments, the now-retired offensive lineman claims that his most prized possession is a one-of-a-kind email exchange with Bill Belichick that he initially thought was a prank.

He recently shared the story during an appearance on “Games With Names,” a podcast hosted by fellow former Patriot Julian Edelman.

“I have never had a conversation with Bill about any of the funny stuff that’s ever happened between [us],” said Light, a noted team prankster during his career.
