The Patriots and Lions will meet Thursday night in their respective preseason openers.

Speaking after the joint practice, Amendola said Tom Brady’s continued success at age 42 does not surprise him.

“Nah, he can play forever,” the former Patriots wide receiver said with a smile. “He’s a great quarterback. He’s in great shape, great condition, obviously, and I’m excited to see him.”

“He works extremely hard and is very deserving for all he’s got,” Amendola said. “I’m happy for him. He’s a good friend, so any time I get to watch him play football is good.”

Danny Amendola left the Patriots after the 2017 season, spending one year with the Miami Dolphins before signing with Detroit this spring. The 33-year-old is one of almost a dozen ex-Patriots on the Lions’ current roster.

“A lot of familiar faces,” Amendola said. “But luckily it’s a lot of good football players, so we get to get good work in and try to get better here in camp, run around a bit and try to get ready for the season. I’m excited they’re here.”

The Lions are coached by former Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and according to Amendola, there are some similarities in the ways the two franchises are run.

“No question,” he said. “Coach (Patricia) just has a great program, and he’s developing a great organization, so I’m happy to be here. I’m happy to be a part of something, and I’m going to do my best to fulfill my role on the team and try to expand that and help this team win.”
