Patriots’ Josh Uche getting inspiration from classic novel, former high school teacher

FOXBOROUGH — New England Patriots LB Josh Uche is turning to the classics for inspiration heading into this season.

The former second-round draft pick is currently reading the novel “The Alchemist” as he enters his third year in the league.

“There are different quotes and stuff I’ve come across that I can apply to my life,” Uche said. “It gives you a new perspective. That is one book I’ve been reading that I kinda like.”

“The Alchemist” is a novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho which was first published in 1988. Originally written in Portuguese, it became a widely translated international bestseller.
