5 ROBERT KRAFT NEWS & NOTES Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have experienced one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the history of sports. In 16 seasons of ownership, Kraft has transformed one of the league s least successful clubs into what many observers view as a model NFL franchise. In the five seasons immediately preceding his purchase ( ), the Patriots were a moribund team, winning just 19 of 80 games (.311 pct.) and recording the worst record in the NFL over that span. When he bought the franchise on Jan. 21, 1994, Kraft announced his intention to bring a championship to New England, a tall order considering the team s previous success rate. But under Kraft s leadership, the Patriots have won nine division titles, five conference crowns and three Super Bowl championships. The Patriots have made five Super Bowl appearances since Kraft purchased the team, a period during which no other NFL franchise has earned more than three berths.

In 1991, the season ticket base was just 17,635, barely enough to support the club. Now, the season-ticket base stands at a capped total of 61,759 and more than 50,000 fans are on a waiting list. The Patriots have sold out 174 consecutive home games (dating back to the 1994 regular-season opener). SUCCESS STORY Since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, the Patriots have been one of the NFL s elite franchises. Over the first 16 seasons of Kraft s ownership, the Patriots own the NFL s highest winning percentage and have won more Super Bowl titles, more conference championships and more playoff games than any other NFL team. The Patriots have now won 9 or more games in 13 of the 16 seasons that Robert Kraft has owned the team. SINCE ROBERT KRAFT PURCHASED THE TEAM IN 1994 TOTAL VICTORIES SINCE 1994 (Incl.

Underneath hangs a gold chain locket for those who were number one in his heart: his parents. In 2002, parents David and Barbara Wilfork both passed away within five months of each other, leaving the then University of Miami star without his greatest support system. Wilfork, who lost his father to diabetes, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for diabetes-related causes. His annual draft day fundraiser, a bowling event he has held for seven years, is one of the signature fundraising events held by a pro athlete in New England. For his charity work, Wilfork was awarded the 2010 New England Patriots Ron Burton Community Service Award. While he has many accomplishment on the football field and will always cherish his National Championship and Super Bowl rings, his constant reminder lies closest to his heart, a picture of his late parents at their high school prom. I carry them with me wherever I go, Wilfork said of his parents keepsake. My parents pushed me to be the best I could be. The things I do and my wife does, we do out of the kindness of our heart, and we do it for the community. I never look for anything in return. My teammates are my second family. My kids, my wife, the New England Patriots that s all I have.

12 PATRIOTS NEWS & NOTES ZOLTAN MESKO: COMING TO AMERICA Rookie P Zoltan Mesko was born in Timosoara, Romania, on the Romania-Hungary border. On Many occasions in 1989, during the communist revolutions, his family was forced to take cover by diving on the floor to avoid gun shots from the armies. Even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, his family lived in poverty. His family was finally able to escape Romania when his father won a United States Permanent Resident Card (green card) in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery in 1997 when Mesko was 11. MESKO DISCOVERS FOOTBALL An avid soccer player from his days in Romania, Mesko had a strong leg. It was only when he came to America that he discovered his leg could take him places. In eighth grade, Mesko was playing kickball in the gym when he kicked the ball so high that he broke a light fixture. He was given a choice: pay for the light fixture or play football. With his family still struggling with money and football being a more popular sport than soccer at his school, the choice was an obvious one Mesko decided to play football. His leg would land him numerous Division I Scholarships and admission offers from Ivy League schools. From these, Mesko chose to play football at Michigan. DOUBLE TROUBLE: CB DEVIN MCCOURTY After being selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, CB Devin McCourty became part of a select group in league history. McCourty s identical twin brother, Jason, is a cornerback with Tennessee, selected in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. The two are the 11 th set of twins to play in the NFL. Devin and Jason were cornerbacks in the Rutgers secondary from Devin redshirted for the 2005 season and therefore was a year behind his brother in eligibility. McCourty is the second twin to suit up for the Patriots, after CB Kato Serwanga was a member of the team from His twin brother Wasswa played for San Francisco and Minnesota from According to McCourty s mother, the two can only be told apart by tiny scars on their faces left by chickenpox.

His offensive numbers broke Kent State s single-season record for total offense set by Joshua Cribbs in ALL IN THE FAMILY: TE ROB GRONKOWSKI Rookie TE Rob Gronkowski grew up playing football against his brothers in the backyard.

The Gronkowski s are among 22 different sets of brothers currently in the NFL, yet they are the only family that can claim to have three siblings in the league. According to the pro Football Hall of Fame, the Gronkowski brothers join nine other familes to have at least three brothers playing at the same time.

Every student in attendance received a Read Between the Lines playbook and was encouraged to set their personal reading goals of at least two books this past summer.

On Sept. 28, Stephen Neal returned to the school to reward the students who accomplished their summer reading goals. One student received a game ball for her efforts after reading 70 books.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON WR Matthew Slater spent his college days at UCLA. The thirdyear promising young talent was born in 1985, when another Slater in The City of Angels was named to his second of seven Pro Bowls. Matthew s father, Jackie Slater, a Hall of Fame offensive tackle, spent his entire career with the Rams organization in LA. Matthew Slater, drafted in 2008, is one of six sons of Hall of Fame members to be drafted in NFL history. HALL OF FAME FATHERS WITH SONS DRAFTED IN THE NFL Jackie Slater (class of 2001) son, Matthew Slater (NE) Howie Long (class of 2000) son, Chris Long (STL) Bobby Bell (class of 1983) son, Bobby Bell (NYJ) Tony Dorsett (class of 1994) son, Anthony Dorsett (HOU) Bob Griese (class of 1990) son, Brian Griese (DEN) Kellen Winslow (class of 1995) son, Kellen Winslow (CLE) GREETINGS FROM KAARST, GERMANY: SEBASTION VOLLMER MAKES HIS MARK A native of Kaarst, Germany, Sebastian Vollmer did not begin playing football until the age of 14 when he started playing for the Dusseldorf club team. Vollmer helped lead his German prep school team to two national football championships. His early football success landed him an appearance in the 2004 Global Junior Championships in San Diego, which led him to a scholarship at Houston. He spoke almost no English when he signed with Houston, but he became fluent in the language as he developed from a 250-pound tight end into a 315-pound lineman who started his final 25 games at tackle for the Cougars. Vollmer s collegiate career created interest from the NFL where the Patriots drafted him in the second round of the 2009 draft. After starting eight games his rookie year, Vollmer has moved into the starting lineup at right tackle this season. As a result of his football success, Vollmer has become a hit with the German media and participates in frequent conference calls back to Germany. Earned the nickname, Seabass, during his playing days at Houston. The nickname has carried over to the NFL.

13 THE TEAM OF THE DECADE W hen Robert Kraft purchased the New England Patriots in 1994, few would have thought that just 16 years later the franchise would be the undisputed team of the decade in the first decade of the new millennium. Kraft brought a winning vision to the organization and dedicated his resources to building a consistent winner. On Jan. 27, 2000, Kraft hired Bill Belichick to coach the team, and three months later the team drafted then-unheralded quarterback Tom Brady, putting the final pieces in place for the Patriots to become the most successful NFL team of the 2000s.
