FOXBORO, MA. \u2014 Brenden Schooler has been one of the mainstays on the New England Patriots from the Bill Belichick and Jerod Mayo eras. Ahead of the Patriots\u2019 in-stadium scrimmage on Friday, the All-Pro specialist relayed what it felt like to suit up on the Gillette Stadium turf to those who hadn\u2019t yet done so.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was telling guys before the game, it was almost like that gameday feeling where you come out here, you\u2019re flying around having fun,\u201d Schooler said. \u201cYou kind of got those pregame jitters that you have, so to have the fans out here with us, it means a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schooler was one of the captains on the white team \u2014 who won the day 47-38, thanks to some inventive new scoring from vice president of football operations and strategy John Streicher. Hunter Henry and Jabrill Peppers were the other two captains on Schooler\u2019s white squad, while the other team was led by Drake Maye, Christian Elliss and Jaylinn Hawkins.<\/p>\n

One of the stars of the evening was Hawkins, who picked off two passes in the practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were all happy when Hawk had two picks on defense,\u201d Schooler said. \u201cI was just happy for him, even though I was on the other team. Seeing guys fly around, having a good time, there was a lot of energy \u2013 the right energy we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his three seasons as a Patriot, Schooler\u2019s infectious on-field energy has been evident since he stepped onto the practice field as an undrafted free agent. It\u2019s the same energy that\u2019s seen him receive Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, as well as becoming the heir to Matthew Slater\u2019s special teams throne in New England.<\/p>\n

The former Texas Longhorn also repped on defense in spurts last season, another testament to Schooler\u2019s ability to be versatile. He\u2019s been so versatile that last October, he inked a three-year, $9 million contract extension to remain in New England. That mindset is what he\u2019s hoping to pass along to his newer teammates in 2025 \u2014 a mantra he wants instilled so that he can experience his first winning season as a Patriot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about getting 1% better every day,\u201d Schooler said. \u201cWe took that one step forward and as long as you\u2019re taking that one step forward, I think we\u2019re going in the right direction to be a really good football team.\u201d<\/p>\n
