The New England Patriots will revisit a list of familiar faces this August.
And it’s a long list, even if excluding the coaching and personnel likes of Matt Patricia, Steve Gregory, Billy Yates, Leon Washington, Harold Nash Jr., Bob Quinn, Mike Vrabel, Dean Pees, Tyrone McKenzie and Jon Robinson.
There are enough names to sort through on the rosters of New England’s preseason opponents alone.
The Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and New York Giants currently combine to carry 26 former Patriots, and a dozen of whom signed their first NFL contracts with the organization.
