Former Patriots player Matt Light running for Foxborough school committee

Former Patriots player Matt Light plans to run for school committee in Foxborough, according to a report by NBC Boston.

Light — an 11-year NFL tackle who last played in 2011 — told the station he felt “a little tap” on his shoulder telling him it was time to serve.

One of the biggest issues? Masks in schools, which Light felt should not have been required.

“We saw other ways of doing things and when we would bring those up or we’d offer some other insights or studies that have been done… it just didn’t seem to carry any weight,” Light told NBC.
