Devin McCourty explains how Kyle Dugger could fit in with Patriots defense

The Patriots defense may not have a player more athletic than second-round pick Kyle Dugger.

Some have said he is a safety in a linebacker's body with a cornerback's speed -- so, how might the Patriots use him?

Appearing on his Double Coverage Podcast with twin brother Jason, Devin McCourty gave some insight.

“I’m excited to just get him in our defense,” he said. “As athletic as he is, I know he’ll be able to be that chess piece moving all over the defense, so it’ll be fun.”

Coming from D-II Lenoir-Rhyne, McCourty believes he will have the right attitude and fit in well with the unit.
