Alex Austin has been part of a major turnaround before – and he likes what he sees from the New England Patriots right now.

When Austin arrived at Oregon State as a freshman, he joined a team that he described as “horrible.” The Beavers had won just one game the year before.

But when Austin showed up in 2018, so did the program’s new coach, Jonathan Smith. Four years later, Austin left a Beavers team that had just capped off a 10-win season under Smith.

So far, Austin hasn’t seen a whole lot of success in the NFL.
