Lacrosse player Dox Aitken gets a tryout at Patriots rookie minicamp

Mike Florio and Chris Simms dissect Bill Belichick’s remarks about everyone needing to reestablish and prove themselves every year and discuss who the Patriots will start at QB next season.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick loves lacrosse, and he’s giving a college lacrosse player a chance to earn a roster spot in New England.

Among the players trying out at the Patriots’ rookie minicamp is Dox Aitken, who played lacrosse, not football, in college at Virginia.

According to Doug Kyed of AtoZSports.com, Aitken plays for the Atlas Lacrosse Club in the Premier Lacrosse League, which was founded by Paul Rabil, a friend of Belichick’s.
