Patriots head coach Bill Belichick explains the difficulty of drafting wide receivers

Q: With receivers in the draft, how difficult is it to project how a player in college will fit into your offense when you’re looking at height, weight, speed and him playing with a different quarterback and different system? How has that process evolved over the years for you and your staff?

The media asked Belichick about the difficulty of projecting how a college receiver will fit into the Patriots offense.

“The issue in college football is there just is not the same passing game in college football that there is in the NFL, period,” Belichick said during his Wednesday press conference.
