Prior to the start of the 2021 season, New England Patriots’ safety Devin McCourty was named a team captain for the 11th time in his career.
At age 34, about to begin his 13th NFL season, McCourty is apparently willing to continue to journey, for at least one more year. Earlier this week, he joined several of his teammates on the opening day of organized training activities (OTAs) at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.
Even though it has been more than a decade since he first stepped foot on a pro football field, McCourty is keenly aware that each new beginning is a fresh opportunity.
