Patriots Reunion: High School Alums Connect on Field
17 May
Summary
- Tight end Julian Hill and Harold Landry shared the same high school.
- Both players are from Fayetteville, North Carolina, a town of proud alums.
- Hill signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Patriots.
New England Patriots tight end Julian Hill experienced a special offseason moment, meeting fellow alum Harold Landry, despite attending the same high school. Both players are from Fayetteville, North Carolina, with Hill having been an eighth-grader when Landry was a senior.
Hill, who signed a three-year, $15 million contract in the past offseason, expressed admiration for Landry. He described Landry as a great competitor and a player who can be a game-changer, emphasizing that his success is well-deserved.
Landry, a second-round pick from Boston College, joined the Patriots last year after starting his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans. Hill, an undrafted free agent from Campbell, is expected to contribute as a blocking tight end. Landry aims to return to form after a knee injury impacted his pass-rushing ability last season, making his full recovery crucial for the Patriots' defense.
