This spring, Arrington and third-year cornerback Devin McCourty are excited to have Dowling back in the mix at the position. “It will bring a smile to all our faces seeing him back out there,” McCourty said. “He’s been working extremely hard all offseason just getting back out on the field, so I’m excited just to see him get back out there.” “High-character guy in the locker room,” Arrington said of Dowling. “He’s physical; he brings a physical element to our secondary. You can’t teach height. He’s tall. He gets those arms on you. Definitely looking forward to seeing what he can do.”
