The New England Patriots will quietly participate in the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week.
While the team will surely have a number of high-level coaches and executives on-sight to view the events and interview players, the Patriots won’t have anyone speaking with the media — not Bill Belichick or Nick Caserio. The Patriots are among the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints as the only teams which will not participate in media availability. That said, the Patriots have plenty of connections to head coaches around the league. Those press conference will be of note for the folks in New England.
Here a look at the schedule for workouts and interviews.
