What's up everybody? Welcome into the NextPaths podcast. I'm Phil Perry. We have a prototypical

0:14.4

Patriots edition of NextPats coming at you today. So excited to get this series started because

0:20.3

we're in a new era.

0:22.6

Prototypical Patriots was a little bit turnkey for a little while there.

0:27.1

Not to say that we always hit on which players the Patriots would be picking draft after draft after draft under Bill Belichick.
