Sounds like the random guy on the Patriots staff. Guess he's been there for a while and has some sort of direct line to Belichick but nobody really knows what he does. I read an article or saw a video somewhere and it was pretty interesting. From all they said, he just breaks down film but there's gotta be a little more to it than that from the impression I got.

Almost like this is Bill Belichick's JoBu to whom he leaves small offerings of rum every now and then.

Sounds like he's just a standard run of the mill strength and conditioning coordinator, but aside from just focusing on working/consulting with athletes he's also worked with some select combat units.

This position, I think, is the first ever created for the NFL.

Chip Kelly has 22 total assistants/coaches on his staff, the biggest, currently in the NFL.
