Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft mourn loss of David Patten

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 3, 2021, 1:05 PM EDT

Patriots coach Bill Belichick recalled how Patten, who was undrafted out of Western Carolina and began his pro football career in the Arena League, built himself up into a significant contributor on three Super Bowl teams.

“It breaks my heart to hear of David’s tragic passing at such a young age,” Belichick said.

“I am grateful to have coached David. He is an essential person and player in Patriots history, without whom we would not have been Super Bowl champions.

I especially appreciate David for his professional journey. As much as anyone, David epitomized the unheralded, self-made player who defied enormous odds to not only earn a job in the NFL but to become a key player on multiple championship teams.

I can speak for anyone who had the pleasure to be around David that his work ethic, positive energy and character were elite. My deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones.”
