When I was young the negro players were the exceptionally good ones because they had to overcome a lot to get there.
Now it’s the Caucasians.
Bellichek likes the exceptional players.
And why shouldn’t he if he wants to win?
You can tell a lot about a team by the racial character of their sidelines.
If a member makes a good play and is only congratulated by people of his own race- and I see that happen- it’s a loser team.
Belichick likes undervalued players.
Brady was a sixth round draft choice.
Gronkowski has been on a pace to be the best TE ever, drafted in the 2nd round.
Woodhead, from a division II school, originally an undrafted signing then cut by the Jets after not significantly being used for a couple of years (first year was on IR).
Julian Edelman was a 7th round pick.
Welker was traded for right along with Moss...with Moss for a 4th.
Amendola came into the league undrafted, but he was a significant free agent signing as an attempt to replace Welker.
But you also have players like Malcolm Butler, an undrafted FA who no one else wanted. Vollmer, a top RT, and a top 10 LT, taken in the 2nd round, but who hadn’t even been invited to the Combine.
...and so on.
