Sportswire via Getty ImagesKyle Van Noy spent two-and-a-half seasons with the
Detroit Lions, but he never quite found his footing after the team drafted him
40th overall in 2014. Head coach Jim Caldwell and defensive coordinator Teryl
Austin tried to use him in a traditional 4-3 role not suited for his diverse
skill set, which in turn led to him appearing timid and insecure when on the
field — further adding to the lack of trust he enjoyed from the coaching
staff.In 2016, despite being in the middle of his most successful season to that
point, the team had enough: Detroit traded Van Noy and a seventh-round draft
choice the following year to the New England Patriots for a sixth-round
selection. The Lions, as it would later turn out, moved up a mere 24 spots to
get rid of the linebacker — one that is now a mainstay on a Patriots defense
that has won two Super Bowls since he joined the club.New England again sits on
top of the pro football mountain this offseason Infant Chase Winovich Jersey , and for Van Noy the return to Detroit as part of the current joint practices with his former team is therefore a positive one.
“It feels good,” said the 28-year-old after yesterday’s session. “It feels good
to come back a winner and say hi to people I haven’t seen in a while. [...] I’m
happy to get to work, to hang out with my teammates, and then to see old
faces.”For Van Noy, the return to the organization that drafted him five years
ago is a trip down memory lane even though Caldwell was replaced by ex-Patriots
defensive coordinator Matt Patricia in 2018. “There’s so many people I could
just name — the behind-the-scenes people that have been so good to me and my
family that I’ve got to show them love when I come back. They’ve been amazing to
me, and always have and always will be.”Patriots training camp: Day NinePhoto by

are not the only thing that comes to mind when reconnecting Van Noy and the
Lions: the trip to Detroit is also a reminder how the Patriots were able to turn
the former second-round draft pick from a bust with his former team into a
two-time world champion and integral player on one of the NFL’s best defensive
units — one that just delivered a game for the ages in Super Bowl 53.“Kyle’s
done a good job for us Chase Winovich Jersey Draft ,” said Patriots head coach and de facto general manager Bill Belichick when speaking about the former Lion on Monday.
“He fits well into our scheme. The scheme that he was in before I think was
maybe not as good of a fit for him, similar to when we got [Rosevelt] Colvin
from the Bears. Sometimes, some players just fit into one situation and one
scheme better than another.”“Kyle’s done a great job for us,” continued
Belichick when speaking about the fourth-year Patriot. “He’s smart, he’s very
instinctive, he does a good job with communication, he can call signals. We have
multiple signal-callers on our defense Chase Winovich NFL Jersey , and that’s a good thing that helps us with communication and adjustments. He’s made a lot of big plays for us since we got
him. I’m glad we have him. He’s done a great job.”Van Noy, meanwhile, did not
want to offer any comment on Belichick’s talk about his scheme fit in New
England when he met the media on Monday. He did, however, offer praise for the
organization and the Patriots’ defensive coaching staff for putting him into a
position to be successful — something Caldwell’s Lions were unable to do with
their comparatively conservative usage of the versatile defender.“Bill, and when
Matty P was there, and Flo [Brian Flores] and [Jerod] Mayo Chase Winovich NFL Draft , and all of these coaches that I’ve played with in New England have put me in a spot to play to my strengths, and put me in a
position to succeed,” he said. “I respect that and I’m happy to be a part of it,
and I would just leave it at that. I just don’t want to take away from my
talent, my skill, and my capabilities if I said that was the reason — if that
makes sense.”Entering his third full year with the Patriots, Van Noy remains a
core member of the Patriots’ defense due to his intriguing combination of
skills: he is experienced as a communicator and on-field leader Chase Winovich Buffalo Bills Jersey , and also has the versatile skill set perfectly suited for New England’s multiple-front defense. As such, he also
remains one of the biggest trade steals of Bill Belichick’s tenure as the team’s
head honcho. When asked about a contract extension recently, Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady said he was “trying to do the best I can today and just
let those things work themselves out.”It sounds like those things have worked
themselves out. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Brady and the Patriots
have agreed to a deal that will extend his stay in New England beyond
2019.Rapoport’s colleague Tom Pelissero reported in July that no deal was on the
horizon for Brady, who is set to make $14 million in salary this season. Given
the length and success of the relationship between Brady and the team, it’s not
surprising that things came together since that point.There are no details about
the terms of the deal beyond that it is the “short-term deal” you’d expect the
42-year-old quarterback to be signing at this point in his career.
