Terrance Knighton arrived in Washington last offseason with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He’ll arrive in New England with the same thing.
Last year, it was about playing with his best friend from his childhood, Chris Baker. This time, it’s about playing for the team he loved growing up as a kid in Connecticut. Knighton, of course, signed with the New England Patriots last week after flirting with a return to Washington.
“I just prayed on it, talked to a lot of my family. I decide with my heart and my heart just told me to go to New England,” Knighton told Patriots reporters Wednesday.
