War Daddy with the pick at the goal line! Beautiful

"War Daddy" is still the coolest nickname EVER.

That's the way to win a roster spot! Go Nate!

Ebner had a string of 4 straight days of interceptions last week in camp. He has turned eyes.

"Ebner just made the team, starting lineup, pro bowl, HOF, etc, etc"

I could see how his rugby pedigree would make him quite popular up here.

I've been saying it for years...he is a tremendous athlete and he will not be outworked. From talking to some people close to him I'd be surprised if he did not make the final Pats roster.

he also had a nice hit on a sideline pass that knocked the ball loose for an incompletion. You could see him and Kurt Coleman talking to each other right after the play.

That's great to hear.

Ebner probably thinks this is a sissy's game... since he wears pads and a helmet

God dammit, I hate the Patriots. Is it possible to get a War Daddy jersey without New Englands logo on it??


Ebner freakin rocks!!!

Ebner freakin rocks!!!

With the Belichick/Meyer connection, we will probably see more Buckeyes drafted by the Pats in the future.

Rookies Wilson, Ebner getting work for Patriots
August 24, 2012
By Paul Kenyon

TAMPA _ It is looking more and more as if Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower will not be the only rookies making an impact for the Patriots this season.

Defensive backs Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner both received extensive work Friday night against Tampa Bay, a development that only reaffirms what has been happening through training camp. The two defensive backs not only look as if they will make the team, they appear to be on their way to earning significant playing time.

Ebner is another of the reasons it is crowded at that position. The sixth-round draft choice out of Ohio State _ he is the guy who walked on the team after playing rugby as a youngster _ has been an even bigger surprise than Wilson.

He came billed as a guy who would concentrate on special teams, which is what he did at Ohio State. He is playing on most of the Pats' special teams. But he has worked more and more at safety and has shown a nose for the ball. He was one of the first guys in against the Bucs.
