New England Patriots tight end Michael Hoomanawanui has insisted that the club's players are looking forward to working with new tight ends coach Brian Daboll.

Daboll was recently given the role after an internal promotion, but Hoomanawanui said that he has already done a good job with the team so deserves the position.

"For us having a new position coach in Daboll, he's done a great job," Hooman told the club's official website. "It's a little different style than I'm used to, but very energetic, very in-your-face.

"He's going to get the best out of you. He's been around for a long time and coached a lot of great players, so we're all excited about having him."

Hoomanawanui started 10 games for the Patriots last season.
