The New England Patriots shocked the NFL world by drafting a Division II safety with their first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Bill Belichick grabbed Kyle Dugger out of Lenoir-Rhyne with the No. 37 pick. Dugger is an extremely athletic safety who’s capable of playing multiple positions and thriving in the NFL with the right organization. But, he’s far from a player who’s ready to get into the league and make an immediate impact.
The Patriots had LSU safety Grant Delpit and Minnesota safety Antoine Winfield Jr. on the board — who have much more accomplished collegiate careers.
