NFL Rumors: Patriots Super Bowl Champ Takes On Role With AFC Upstart

The New England Patriots have brought back former players in Dont’a Hightower and Matthew Slater as part of Jerod Mayo’s staff. Mayo even offered a job to Devin McCourty, too.

But another Patriots Super Bowl champion reportedly will open a new chapter of his career elsewhere. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, Shane Vereen joined the Houston Texans’ scouting department as a player personnel assistant.

This is a new venture for Vereen, who New England drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft and played four seasons with the Patriots, including helping them to a win in Super Bowl XLIX.
