Patriots sign Chris Board, a special teams player singled out for praise by Bill Belichick

Special teams players don't usually get lucrative contracts, but Patriots coach Bill Belichick has long prioritized special teams, and he has long admired Lions special teams player Chris Board, and so it's no surprise that Board got a good deal from the Patriots.

I even know that Chris Board is one of the best in the league.

We all want to fix the passing game and a few other spots, but....all 3 phases people.

But is he a better LB than Slater is s WR?

But is he a better LB than Slater is s WR?

I guarantee it. I can do that without seeing a single snap from Board at LB,
because I saw the our guy try to pay WR. Briefly.

Remember when we tried Slater at KR? He was the least-evasive kick returner in
NFL history. He almost got himself killed.

He has the size and speed to be a disruptive force on D. I could see him and Dugger creating issues for a number of QBs

Remember when BB signed primarily ST guys Mike Vrable and Rod Nikovitch? That was awesome.

Who is new Patriots linebacker/special teamer Chris Board?

Board signed a two-year contract to join the Patriots.

Board should make an immediate impact on the Patriots’ special teams group, and any contributions on defense should be seen as a bonus rather than a necessity.
