Jalen Mills’ First Encounter With Bill Belichick Was Something Else

Bill Belichick is a living legend. He’ll go down as one of the great football coaches of all time. Jalen Mills signed with the Patriots this offseason, and two weeks after choosing to play for the Patriots, Mills recounted his first encounter with Bill Belichick at Gillette Stadium.

Mills’ was super geeked to meet the Evil Genius.

“I literally turned my back to him and I screamed out loud, like, ‘This is coach Belichick.’ Excuse my language, but like, ‘This is f—ing Coach Belichick.’ Like, I screamed it loud,” Mills recalled, via Justi Leger of NBC Sports Boston. “And then I turned back around and he was still just like monotone, like regular, just still having a casual conversation with me, when I’m freaking out, and I was like, ‘My fault, Coach. One more thing, I gotta cut you off. I don’t want to disrespect you, but Coach, you’re a legend to me. I’m happy to be here.’ He was like, ‘Same, man. Happy for you to be here. Can’t wait to get going and coach you up.’”

Mills has been watching Belichick almost his entire life.

“This is a guy who I’ve been watching since before I even started taking football serious,” Mills said.

Hopefully Mills will stay on Belichick’s good side.

You don’t want to see Bill angry.
