Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee met with New England coach Bill Belichick prior to the 2014 NFL Draft.
Apparently, he was quite impressed with the former USC player.
Belichick went defense with his first-round pick, taking Florida defensive tackle Dominique Easley with the 29th selection. Lee went 10 spots later to the Jaguars, well before the Patriots were back on the clock at No. 62.
Belichick went out of his way to compliment Lee during a conference call with the Times-Union earlier this week. The Jaguars need Lee to have a major impact on Sunday’s game when they travel to New England.
