From sleeping in a closet as an OSU student assistant to becoming Mike Vrabel's most trusted football advisor, it's been a long journey to Foxborough for John “Stretch” Streicher. What makes this “rising star” so vital to New England's head coach?

“This guy is going to run an organization one day.”
John Streicher is Mike Vrabel’s version of Ernie Adams, and that’s not all: ‘This guy is going to run an organization one day’ - The Boston Globe
The 35-year-old never played football in college, but climbed the ranks alongside Mike Vrabel after the two met at Ohio State. Now, he's Vrabel's right-hand man in New England.

Probably the best possible scenario for the Patriots, to be honest. Bye becomes even more important.

Given the events of the last couple of years, I was sorely tempted to make a Henry-as-Andy Dufresne “crawling through 500 yards” analogy as to what he’s endured, but that felt like a bridge too far. Regardless, it’s amazing to consider Henry’s career arc as a member of the Patriots.
The Patriots don’t win Sunday’s game if not for the efforts of Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper.

“Those guys are playmakers,” Stefon Diggs said. “I remember saying we’ve got a lot of guys on offense that could make plays. I wasn’t just talking about the receivers. Those guys play at a high level.”

Henry and Hooper combined for 154 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Bengals, with Henry scoring the Patriots' only offensive touchdown.

TD Bengals. It's 23-20, pending the extra point.

New England needs to downshift into five-minute offense here and kill some clock.
