New England Patriots LB Elandon Roberts, back in the mix as a starter, returns home for Super Bowl LI

Cornerback Eric Rowe, wide receiver Danny Amendola, tight end Martellus Bennett, and offensive tackle Marcus Cannon all hail from the Houston area. It will be a double homecoming for rookie linebacker Elandon Roberts, who grew up in Port Arthur, Tex., about 50 miles from Houston, and finished his college career at the University of Houston, which will serve as the Patriots’ practice facility for the week.
