Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have always made the most out of undervalued talents.
And according to NFL Network analytics expert Cynthia Frelund, the Patriots are getting a pretty good deal when it comes to one of the team’s impact defenders.
Frelund, who uses a combination of factors to determine the most underappreciated players on each team in the league, pointed to safety Kyle Dugger as the player that fits that bill for the Patriots.
“Computer vision shows that Dugger ranked third among safeties in burst on run plays when aligned within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage in 2022,” Frelund wrote.
