"After all, they tend to blend together when you hoist six Lombardi Trophies in 20 years. But the North Andover native - then donning a Tom Brady jersey - still vividly remembers duck boats carrying the Patriots through the chilly streets of Boston after yet another triumph on football's highest stage. It's a sight that Bobo - now a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks - hopes doesn't play out for the seventh time later next week."
""I think it adds a certain kind of toughness to my game and personality off the field, to be honest," the former Belmont Hill standout said of his regional ties. The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher is still fond of his hometown teams, and bemoans the lack of Dunkin' in the Pacific Northwest. "I have no other choice," Bobo said of pivoting to Starbucks. "There's no Dunks. It's incredible.""
Jake Bobo grew up in North Andover and attended multiple Patriots Super Bowl parades, vividly remembering duck boats and Lombardi celebrations. The former Belmont Hill standout once wore a Tom Brady jersey and still holds pride for his New England roots. The 27-year-old wide receiver, now in his third season with the Seattle Seahawks, believes his regional ties add toughness to his game and personality. Bobo remains fond of hometown teams but misses Dunkin' in the Pacific Northwest, resorting to Starbucks. He enjoys playing the 'bad guy' against the Patriots, wants to prevent another parade, and feels excited and slightly awed by the prospect of the Lombardi Trophy.
