Hector Longo

Hector Longo

Hector Longo, a native of Massachusetts, took over the New England Patriots beat for The Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence, joining on just weeks before Bill Belichick took a flyer on a weak-armed QB from Michigan named Brady with the 199th pick of the 2000 draft. The rest is history. Together, both Tom and Hector have been to 11 AFC title games and 7 Super Bowls over the past 16 years. Hector still lives in Massachusetts with his wife Sondra and his son, Ollie.
