FOXBORO — Similar to a shutdown cornerback, the Patriots believe they’ve got a unique weapon in their safety room.
Patrick Chung might have just wrapped up the best regular season of his career, and the 30-year-old will be an important asset for as long as the team is alive in the playoffs.
“I don’t think there is a better cover safety in the NFL than Patrick Chung,” captain Duron Harmon said. “I really believe Patrick is unique. You don’t see 215-pound strong safeties who go out there and play the nickel position or a corner. You don’t see it.
