It’s the weird part of the offseason where the NFL teams can say just about anything they want to say about their players. Whether coaches are being honest or not, they can suggest they have big plans for just about any and every member of their 90-man roster. Every player seems to be in the best shape of their lives. Every player seems to be overflowing with potential.
But it’s rare for Bill Belichick to play this game. He’s the king of: “We’ll see.” Tom Brady? “We’ll see.” Lawrence Taylor? “We’ll see.” So it was strange to hear the New England Patriots coach acknowledge the potential of the team’s 2020 second-round pick, Josh Uche.
“I think he is a big piece of our defense,” Belichick said during a pre-practice press conference on Tuesday. “We’ll see exactly what it turns out to be.”
