Patriots take their third Gator by selecting Aaron Hernandez

by mlmintampa on Apr 24, 2010 11:08 AM EDT in Florida Football

That Bill Belichick-Urban Meyer connection is no joke as the Patriots picked Aaron Hernandez in the fourth round, making it three Gators for the Pats.

The Pats spent a second round pick on Arizona TE Rob Gronkowski, but there will be competition in camp as the Pats look to replace 2009 tight end Ben Watson. The Pats also have to worry about how healthy WR Wes Welker will be when he returns. Veteran TE Alge Crumpler is also in New England. But, the Pats could use Gronkowski or Hernandez like the Colts use Dallas Clark. Hernandez was never much of a blocker, so maybe the Pats make him their Dallas Clark.

Belichick turns to unlikey source for coaching advice

As Belichick steams toward a fourth Super Bowl title, which would match Pittsburgh’s Hall of Fame coach, Chuck Noll, his closest coaching confidante appears to be the University of Florida’s Urban Meyer, a man with whom Belichick never has worked, but with whom he has nonetheless developed an extremely close relationship.

I don't want to cheer for the Pats

Since I hate them. But it’s starting to look like I’ll have to cheer for at least some of their guys…

I started to like them

Now I know I’m gonna get blasted for it, but it doesn’t matter to me as long as your not a fan of: New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Carolina, and New York Jets
