Patriots HC Jerod Mayo breaks silence on whom the Patriots will draft as the overall No.3 pick

Jerod Mayo said that the Patriots team would sign the best player available in the No.3 position.

The New England Patriots are transitioning into the post-Bill Belichick era. They have gone through the transition with the help of the youngest-ever head coach, Jerod Mayo. The former linebacker played eight long years for the Patriots. He will aim to turn things around for the Patriots after suffering two losing seasons.

After taking charge, the new head coach spent little time announcing that the team was seriously considering getting a good third-round pick. The HC did not reveal the name of the player. However, he said the Patriots would draft the best player possible.

What I will say is this: we’re gonna draft the best player for a position that is very important. You put the pieces together.

It will be a very difficult job for the new head coach as the team will get over Bill Belichick’s legacy. One of the longest-serving coaches in the arena of sports across the world. Despite his struggles in the latter part of his career, one can not deny his contribution to this team. Six Super Bowl (SB) trophies and a quarterback like Tom Brady. It would be very difficult to replace him. The new head coach will find it challenging to provide a turnaround.

The Patriots had their worst season this year following a 4-13 season. This is the first time in 20 years that the team finished with less than seven wins. Last time, they had a similar season in the year 2000.

Former New England Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick is seeking a job

After ending the 24-year-long relationship with the Patriots, the NFL veteran Bill Belichick is seeking a job. There were speculations that he could join the Dallas Cowboys. However, that speculation ended with Jerry Jones deciding to retain Mike McCarthy as the head coach. Now, there are speculations that the veteran can land in the Atlanta Falcons.

Sources revealed that the Falcons owner had interviewed Bill Belichick. Like the Patriots, the Falcons also went through coaching changes as they sacked Arthur Smith following three consecutive losing seasons. The HC position is vacant, and Bill Belichick could be the one.

It is to be seen where the veteran lands in the coming time. Bellichick-era in New England was a majestic period. However, the new era under Jerod Mayo looks promising. On the other hand, Bill Belichick’s future in the NFL remains a topic of discussion among fans.
