Some assorted notes and nuggets from Friday’s New England Patriots media availability:
— Kendrick Bourne rarely is seen without a wide smile on his face. Head coach Bill Belichick raved about the positive energy the wide receiver has brought to the Patriots.
“KB has got some good energy,” Belichick said. “He brings that out to the practice field every day. It’s fun to have that type of personality and energy interjected into the team. He works hard. … I have a lot of respect for the way he approaches the game and his work ethic on the practice field.
