Despite the NFL’s annual meeting in Palm Beach, FL, being over, the New England Patriots’ brain trust decided to stay in the Southeast. Led by head coach/general manager Bill Belichick, the team’s top-level executives traveled to Tuscaloosa to scout draft prospects at the University of Alabama pro day.
Belichick was joined on the trip by director of player personnel Matt Groh and senior football advisor Matt Patricia, among others.
The Patriots’ top executives making the trip to get an up-close look at Alabama’s pro day is no surprise.
Not only are Belichick and Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban long-time associates, the school is also one of the top talent factories in all of football.
