Bill Belichick was scouting another player, but Elandon Roberts kept catching his eye
“Personally, I first saw him when I was watching Keenan Reynolds, the Navy quarterback, and that [Navy-Houston] game Reynolds threw for 300 yards or something like that. He threw a lot of passes, it was the game in his career where he threw the most, so I wanted to watch that,” Belichick relayed Tuesday. “When I was watching that, I kept noticing the middle linebacker for Houston making a ton of plays in that game. I didn’t even know who he was, so I went and got the [scouting] information on him.”
Real happy for Elandon. I hope he keeps up doing what he does even against the Texans. Then again, the Patriots always take care of the Texans anyhow. Go Coogs!
SBNation is a grab bag, so take this article with a grain of salt. Still, nice to see a positive article about a Coog alum:
Chad O’Shea’s dad, Mike O’Shea, has been the Head Athletics Trainer for the University of Houston since 1993. Mike actually worked for the Baltimore Colts in 1973 and likely part of 1974. Belichick was hired by the Colts in 1975.
