Devin McCourty details Kyle Dugger’s ‘freak’ athleticism, potential with Patriots

The New England Patriots took a gamble in the draft this season with their first pick, Kyle Dugger.

Dugger spent his college career at Lenoir-Rhyne University — a small Division II school in North Carolina. He had an impressive career as a defensive back, but as a punt returner as well. He’s 6-foot-2, 220 pounds and can be the next safety to take on a key role for years to come in Foxborough.

Devin McCourty, who’s a three-time Super Bowl champion, is in his 11th season with the team and has been nothing short of phenomenal.
