KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Patriots owner Robert Kraft, on a surface level, is far from his usual self at the NFL’s spring meeting. Normally omnipresent at league events like this, Kraft—three months removed from being charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution in Jupiter, Fla.—is quietly ducking in and out of rooms, isn’t making much small talk with those outside the highest levels of the game and was invisible when most of his peers climbed into black cars to leave the Ritz-Carlton late Wednesday.
But contrary to what we all saw at the annual meeting two months ago, Kraft wasn’t hiding this week in South Florida.
