Bill Belichick was not only the head coach of the New England Patriots for two decades, he also served as the de facto general manager for the team during much of that time. And while his personnel decisions later in his tenure left plenty to be desired, he still will bring plenty of evaluation experience to North Carolina alongside his coaching acumen.
"They will be better evaluators than 90 percent of these major colleges will be," a veteran NFL executive told Mike Sando of The Athletic.
"They already understand the cap, they understand how to pay and who to pay and how to structure a roster," the executive added.
