One year with the New England Patriots three years ago was all Trent Brown needed to cash in and make life-changing money.
Now, he’s back and hoping he can stay in the place he’s thrived in.
The gargantuan offensive tackle was something of a reclamation project when the Patriots acquired him from the San Francisco 49ers prior to the 2018 season. Under the tutelage of offensive line coaching legend Dante Scarnecchia, Brown blossomed into an elite left tackle, protecting Tom Brady en route to the quarterback’s final Super Bowl victory with the Patriots.
The big contract he scored with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders was representative of the player he can be, but he ended up back with the Pats after myriad hurdles prevented him from living up to expectations on Jon Gruden’s team.
