2016 Olympics:

Patriots safety and special teams’ standout Nate Ebner spoke to the media for the first time Sunday since his return from the Olympics in Brazil

It might not have gone quite the way Nate Ebner hoped, but the Patriots special teams standout returns to New England as only a handful of athletes in the world who participated in this year’s games in Rio.

Nate Ebner made the highlight reel in a blowout 26-0 win vs. Brazil with a try and also massive hit.

It’s taken a lot of hard work for Nate Ebner, but with opening ceremonies set for this week, it won’t be long before the Patriots special teamer will get his opportunity to compete for gold in Rio.
