FILE - In this Feb. 7, 2019, file photo, New England Patriots football player Kyle Van Noy acknowledges the fans as the Patriots Super Bowl victory is honored during a break in an NBA basketball game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, in Boston. Van Noy had plenty of nice things to say about his former team. Of course, it’s been his own career that’s taken off since he left Detroit. “It feels good to come back a winner and say hi to people I haven’t seen in a while,” the New England linebacker said.
