Growing up in Ohio and working for different farms and
construction companies, Matt Light learned what hard honest work
was like. On the football field, he found a home where
strength met aggression and technique. In the hunting woods,
he found an appreciation and passion for the outdoors where
focus on technique mattered just as much as it did on the football
field. Matt paid little attention to football outside of his
hometown high school team, but college football recruiters were
paying attention to him. He played a full collegiate career
at Purdue along side Drew Brees and soon found himself playing
along side Tom Brady for the New England Patriots from 2001 to
2012. Matt says that football taught him many lessons in
life, but so has hunting where he says sometimes you just have
one of those days where everything goes your way. Today, after
spending 11 years in the NFL, he has set his sights on raising
money for the Matt Light Foundation (www.MattLight72.com) where he
hopes to help the slightly misguided youth towards a life of
success and leadership through connections with the outdoors. Oh,
and Matt hunts now more than ever. As you might imagine, playing
under Coach Bill Belichick for 11 years might have interrupted a
deer season or two, so he’s making up for lost time.
