Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick "will continue to be part of the NFL Draft" this year, serving as "co-host alongside Pat McAfee " during ESPN's coverage next week. The draft will "likely be Belichick's first step in an expected partnership" with ESPN and Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions . This draft will mark the first one in 50 years that Belichick is "not associated with an NFL team." His upcoming role as a co-host, though, has "kept him in his usual pre-draft routine" ( CBSSPORTS.com, 4/17 ).
We're so INCREDIBLY PUMPED Coach
