Mass. — There’s a reason Lawrence Guy,FOXBORO, is listed vaguely on the Patriots’ roster
, like many players in New England

as a defensive lineman.

305 pounds,Guy, at 6-foot-4, is the size of a defensive tackle, but the Patriots love versatility because they play a hybrid
defensive front. Sometimes the Patriots will be in a 3-4, and there are moments when it’s
, other times they’ll be in a 4-3

neither or both.

who signed as an unrestricted free agent in March,Authentic Deatrich Wise Jr.Jersey,The Patriots didn’t have a player like Guy,Authentic Marshon Lattimore Jersey,
, on their roster last season

eschewing the mid-sized defensive linemen for traditional edge rushers and nose tackle types. There’s a good chance Guy will

]Authentic Ryan Ramczyk Jersey[/url],be asked to play anywhere from nose tackle to seven-technique defensive end with the Patriots this season

Bill Belichick asked if he could handle that type of responsibility when he visited New England as a free agent.

‘I feel comfortable anywhere you put me at.’ It’s one of those situations with me as a player that I … found that
,Marcus Williams Jersey,“I said

” Guy said Wednesday at Gillette Stadium. “Coming
,I needed to play different positions for me to be the best player I can be

wherever they need to put me at,in this situation,
, I can go ahead and do it. I’m not a great corner. I’m a little bit heavy

but I’ll try it.”

The Patriots should be just fine at cornerback.

I’ll do what I gotta do to make a play,” Guy said. “It doesn’t matter if I’m at nose (tackle),“You put me on the field,
(five-technique defensive end),(three-technique defensive tackle), (six-technique defensive end) or (seven-technique defensive
end). I’ve seen it and played it all, so I’m just happy to go out there and play and make plays.”

The Patriots have more certainty at defensive tackle than they do at defensive end at this point in the offseason. Defensive
tackles Alan Branch and Malcom Brown are multi-year starters, and Vincent Valentine showed flashes as a rookie in 2016. Only
Trey Flowers and Rob Ninkovich return from the Patriots’ 2016 defensive end rotation. They added veteran Kony Ealy and rookies
Deatrich Wise and Corey Vereen. They also have Geneo Grissom,Derek Rivers,Deatrich Wise Jr.Jersey, who almost exclusively played special teams last
season.

That means Guy might be inserted into the Patriots’ defensive tackle and defensive end rotations this season. That will be
especially necessary if Rivers and Wise don’t prove they can contribute as rookies. The Patriots also won’t be forced to play
an undersized player out of position as they did last season with Chris Long at five-technique defensive end.

so if they put me at a position they need me to work at,Marshon Lattimore Jersey,Ryan Ramczyk Jersey, I’ll go out there and do it,Authentic Marcus Williams Jersey,Authentic Alvin Kamara Jersey,“I like to be on the field,” Guy said.
“The whole object is to be able to play multi positions on the field so you can be out there for the most time you can and how
you’re not really helping the team. If you can do multiple things,Alvin Kamara Jersey,you help the team out. If you can only do one thing, you
can help the team a lot.”
