Athletic Freak will play Linebacker in the Patriots System
The Patriots have some players who won’t be sleeping much on Monday night, sweating over the league mandated cut-down to 75 players on Tuesday by 4 p.m. Newly acquired LB/DE Barkevious Mingo won’t be getting much sleep either, but he’s not worried about his status. He’s a lock. But he’s far behind his contemporaries in learning the Patriots defense. So he’s burning the midnight oil trying to get up to speed in Bill Belichick’s defense.
Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia love versatile players on the perimeter that can rush the passer, and drop into coverage.
