And New England loves helping veteran retreads rejuvenate their careers, not out of the goodness of its organizational heart, but because Belichick and Co. seem to have a knack for getting the most out of guys many thought had nothing left:
And New England loves helping veteran retreads rejuvenate their careers, not out of the goodness of its organizational heart, but because Belichick and Co. seem to have a knack for getting the most out of guys many thought had nothing left:
- A 31-year-old Rodney Harrison earned his second career All-Pro nod during his first year with New England in 2003.
- A 30-year-old Corey Dillon had 1,635 yards in his eighth NFL season, which was also his first with New England in 2004. That was a career high for Dillon, and it marked only the fourth time in NFL history in which a running back went over 1,600 yards that late in his career.
- Prior to signing with New England in 2006, 37-year-old Junior Seau had become a shell of his former self as a role player in Miami. But Seau became a solid starter again in '06 and played a key role on that legendary 2007 team that went to the Super Bowl.
- Randy Moss had the best year of his career as a 30-year-old on the '07 Pats.
- They got a solid 4.3 yards per carry and four touchdowns in a backup role from a 33-year-old Fred Taylor in 2009.
