One of the great things about the NFL is that it requires players of all shapes and sizes to contribute in order to take a team to the championship.
Nowhere better is this axiom illustrated than on the New England Patriots, who will utilize the services of both Trent Brown and JJ Taylor this season.
While Brown, recently acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders in Jon Gruden’s bizarre teardown of the offensive line, Taylor was found on the UDFA scrap heap, though his quick change of direction ability helped make him a favorite of Bill Belichick and position coach Ivan Fears.
