tl;dr

• Determined/winner.
• Used to be a screw-up (jail and so on).
• Always a charismatic leader; decided to use that in a good way.
• Not necessarily a smart player.

Former Patriot.
Nice guy.
One of the first guys the BB regime gave up on who prospered elsewhere.

Seems to be JAG. But a hard working JAG. That's BB's type, just didn't show enough fast enough to stick in Foxboro. Or got caught in a numbers game. Good story though, hopefully he keeps his head straight and saves his paychecks and keeps the same hard working competitive attitude after his playing days are over. Might make a good coach, hs or college kids could use his kind of model.

There's a great background story on how BB reached out to offer help to Mincey's father. Who was having issues with drugs. Jerome Mincey; "I'll respect Bill Belichick til the day I die."

I believe he was trying to make the switch from college lineman to pro OLB, which was necessary in our defense at the time.
