Sean McVay Reportedly Called Bill Belichick For Laughing at His Draft Pick

When you’re on live TV, there’s no way to hide a reaction.

On draft night a video of Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay went viral, he was spotted laughing at the Patriots for using a first-round pick on offensive lineman Cole Strange. Rams head coach and his general manager Les Snead were under fire for their live reaction.

Apparently McVay made sure to reach out to the Pats as to not ruffle any feathers.

Via PFT:

“Because of how that video went viral in fun, that was the chemistry between us and us going through this process trying to evaluate,” Snead said Friday night, “but I know Sean talked to Cole this morning, did talk to Coach Belichick this morning just to say, ‘Hey, we — there was nothing — we really like that player.’ Sean was just jest at myself for, ‘Hey, why did we waste our time on him again?’ And I can say this . . . a long time ago, I forget when it was, but the New England Patriots drafted a guy named Logan Mankins from right up the road in Fresno. He was a left tackle, they moved him inside. About 10 years later, he had a lot of Pro Bowls and Super Bowl.”

Sean McVay said his comments were misunderstood and that he was poking fun at Les Snead when he commented about Cole Strange. Snead said McVay spoke with Strange and Belichick and had nothing but respect for both.

Sean McVay is a Super Bowl winning coach who respects his elders, especially legends like Bill Belichick. The NFL could use  a lot more Sean McVay’s. Not only is he a boy genius, he honors the history of the NFL.

What a coach.
