A former member of the New Orleans Saints is on the move. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz reported that Vinnie Sunseri, a 2014 fifth-round draft pick by the Saints, was hired by the New England Patriots in a support staff role. Sunseri spent the 2019 season as a graduate assistant at Alabama, his alma mater. He’s now reunited with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who took a flyer on Sunseri after the Saints cut him in 2016.
Sunseri was known for his special teams aptitude in college, and primarily tried out there for New Orleans.
