Isaiah Thomas has been hired by the Celtics as a pro and college scout, per @AdamHimmelsbach 🙌
He's been with the team this week at the NBA Scouting Combine ☘️
Rob Gronkowski says Julian Edelman left him a voice memo after finding out he's been inducted into the #Patriots Hall of Fame:
"He congratulated me, big time ... Two idiots back in 2010, now going back-to-back into the Patriots Hall of Fame—both first-round inductees."
@PSchrags@KyleBrandt good to see you together again. Funny part about the Mark Ingram moment was that Mark mouthed the words while he son was speaking @nflnetwork
With Caleb (Lomu), Gabe (Jacas), and Eli (Raridon) over the first three rounds, this is already the most Old Testament draft in Patriots’ franchise history.
Draft analyst @FieldYates, on the ABC broadcast, on Illinois edge Gabe Jacas:
"He has some 'wrestler' in his game. This guy takes defending the run as seriously as he does rushing the passer ... but he can get after the quarterback as well; not the kind of guy who is going to win with an explosive first step. He has a very refined pass-rush arsenal, though."
Fellow analyst Nick Saban then adds, "I think Gabe is a really good edge guy. This guy is a relentless competitor in terms of the way he plays, with effort and toughness. Does he play outside 'backer or defensive end? That's the question."
