FOXBOROUGH — Trent Brown knows about big things, and New England’s towering offensive tackle is predicting big things for linebacker Josh Uche in 2022.
Uche was kind of a forgotten man last season, buried on a depth chart that included Dont’a Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, and Jamie Collins, all of whom are no longer on the Patriots roster. In the offseason, linebackers coach Steve Belichick said Uche was a “big part” of the club’s defense, and Bill Belichick labeled him a “big piece.’’
“Watch him,” the 6-foot-8-inch, 380-pound Brown said Wednesday.
