Former Patriots cornerback Shawn Springs is mentoring one of the draft’s top prospects

When the New England Patriots are on the clock tomorrow night, Dwayne Haskins is expected to be long gone: the Ohio State prospect is among the top quarterbacks to enter the 2019 draft and as such could become one of the first ten players to hear their names called by Roger Goodell on Thursday. At least indirectly, the Patriots have a hand in this as one of their former players has taken Haskins under his wings.

Shawn Springs, who was in New England for the final season of his 13-year career, helped the quarterback grow into a likely day one selection.
