The Patriots defensive coordinator went back onto the field long after the AFC championship was over and the team had advanced to the Super Bowl for the sixth time in his tenure. But for Patricia, that's not all it's about. Taking a rarely followed path to the NFL, Patricia graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with four varsity letters and an Aeronautical Engineering degree. He bounced around a few colleges in the Northeast before landing on Bill Belichick's staff with the then-defending Super Bowl champions. Moving up through the team's coaching ranks, he became the Patriots defensive coordinator in 2012.
