Bill Belichick made his NFL Draft debut on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Thursday, delivering the kind of insight that shows his media prospects.
The surreal aspect of the big media debut of Bill Belichick’s post- coaching career was he shared a set with a character named “Mad Mel” on “The Pat McAfee Show” for its coverage. On the McAfee program, contributor Ty Schmit impersonates ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., but actually does it in a more cutting way than the current Kiper. It is good-natured, but it harkens back to when an edgier Kiper began to make his legend as the ultimate draftnik more than four decades ago.
After New England’s Maye pick, Boston Connor, a Patriots fan, had a long commentary about how great Maye would be. Next, the audience heard from Belichick, who sounded as if he would have vetoed the pick if he were still running the show in Foxboro. “Drake Maye makes some amazing plays that you really like.. He can really drive the ball and he’s a freak athlete” ~ Bill Belichick — Pat McAfee That wasn’t all.
