New England Patriots: 3 Buffalo Bills players Bill Belichick should coach
The New England Patriots coach would love the versatile skills of linebacker Matt Milano.
A tackling machine who is capable of also creating chaos in the backfield is Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Matt Milano.
If it seems like the fifth-round pick out of Boston College was always making big plays against the New England Patriots in 2019, it is because he was.
With 101 combined tackles and 1.5 sacks last season, Matt Milano is one of those players Bill Belichick would rather have on his team. If the Bills don’t lock him up to a long-term contract, which they should, then it wouldn’t be surprising at all if he ends up in a Patriots’ uniform.
On a solid Buffalo Bills defense, Milano is a player who is capable of both playing the run and defending against the pass. Just imagine what Bill Belichick would do with a player like this who always finds a way to be at the right place at the right time.
Just 25 years old, the ceiling is high on this young linebacker. With his speed, which was noted by Belichick back in December, he would be a quicker version of recent noteworthy New England Patriots outside linebackers Mike Vrabel and Rob Ninkovich.
So, if the Bills don’t find a way to pay this man long-term, they will certainly risk seeing him twice a year playing for Bill Belichick.
