New England Patriots de-facto defensive coordinator Brian Flores is the latest person to be recognized by the Hockomock YMCA’s Integration Initiative as a Legend. He was honored at the organization’s annual Legends Ball for supporting the cause over the years and helping it make an impact on peoples’ lives. One of those is Flores’ younger brother Christopher, who was diagnosed with autism when the Patriots’ coach was a teenager.
”That’s what I love about this Integration Initiative is you see families come together and that becomes their team,“ Flores, a former Boston College linebacker who has spent his entire coaching career as a member of the Patriots organization, said during the fundraising event last week.
