The 2020 NFL Draft was a strange one for every team, including the New England Patriots.
Forced to operate remotely amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Belichick and other team personnel overcame the challenges and ultimately selected a group of players they hope will be difference-makers down the road. The Patriots on Monday shared a behind-the-scenes video that offers a fascinating look at this year’s draft operation.
The highlights, of course, are the phone calls to let players know their dreams just came true.

Good stuff.
Whether the Patriots drafted any true impact players remains to be seen. Nevertheless, there are more than a few interesting players in the 2020 class, including versatile Virginia Tech tight end Dalton Keene.
