Quote (http://mt.nesn.com/.a/6a0115709f071f970b014e8b72d45a970d-400wi) A running back on the New England Patriots has been ordered to do his patriotic duty - and report immediately aboard a Navy ship. Eric Kettani, who became a feel-good story after making the team's practice squad, and who is an alum of the U.S. Naval Academy, was ordered to return to his Navy ship in Jacksonville, the Boston Herald reported. He said he hopes to get back to his career in the NFL, but knows he must follow orders. “I love my country and I’m happy to serve it, but I’m also happy to be a New England Patriot,” Kettani told Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. |
