Patriots Draft Pick Malcom Brown: Celtics Are Only Thing I Know About Boston

Malcom Brown was born and raised in Brenham, Texas, and played his college ball just down the road in Austin, so it’s not surprising the Patriots’ latest first-round draft pick isn’t exceptionally well-versed in New England culture.

Unfortunately for Brown, whom the Patriots selected Thursday with the 32nd overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, he missed out on basketball season by just a few days. The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Celtics out of the NBA playoffs last Sunday.
