For the six seasons from 2010 to 2015, Sebastian Vollmer manned the right side of the New England Patriots’ offensive line. Along the way, the 2009 second-round draft selection picked up 90 starts, a second-team All-Pro nomination, and a Super Bowl ring (he earned another one after the 2016 season that he spent on injured reserve). And while Vollmer stepped away from the game in May 2017, he still remains active promoting it.
Last month, for example, the 35-year-old appeared at an NFL-sponsored event in his native Germany. Spox’s Adrian Franke used the opportunity to catch up with Vollmer and also to speak with him about his former team — and it sure looks like the long-term Patriot is feeling confident about New England heading into the 2019 season.
