Bill Belichick is back, baby!
All right, so Belichick technically never went anywhere, at least in a physical sense. He’s been calling the shots on draft night for the Patriots since April 15, 2000, when he made Hawaii tackle Adrian Klemm the first selection of the Belichick era in the second round, No. 46 overall.
Four rounds later, Belichick made arguably the greatest draft choice in professional sports history. No, not Purdue nose tackle David Nugent at No. 201 overall. That skinny, boyish quarterback from Michigan he took two picks earlier. Right, the one who apparently plans to play for infinity and might just pull it off.
