New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick's opinion of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones seems to have changed since the former Foley High School star came out of Alabama in the 2011 NFL Draft.
In that draft, the Falcons traded five draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move from making their first selection at No. 27 into the No. 6 spot, which they used to obtain Jones.
Belichick, a noted collector of extra picks by trading down in the draft, didn't think it was a good idea, as noted in Michael Holley's book "War Room: The Legacy of Bill Belichick and the Making of the Perfect Team," which was published in 2012.
