Why Rutgers connection to Bill Belichick & Patriots came up during NBA Draft

Last night, the NBA Draft was held and it has been ten years since Rutgers had a player selected in the first round. With no one under consideration for last night's draft, why was there chatter on twitter regarding a Rutgers player taken? Because of the Patriots-Rutgers connection, that's why! The Boston Celtics had eight picks last night, and some people made jokes about them selecting football players from Rutgers.

Belichick just called Ainge to tell him he should have picked the cornerback out of Rutgers https://t.co/jZpeycBugG
