Bill Belichick to Co-Host ‘The Pat McAfee Show’s’ Draft Spectacular

Bill Belichick, recognized for his concise demeanor during his tenure with the New England Patriots, is set to offer insights into the upcoming NFL draft. Belichick will co-host “The Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular,” airing on YouTube and ESPN+ on the draft’s opening night next week, McAfee announced on Wednesday.

The draft will take place in Detroit from April 25th to April 27th.

Belichick’s Perspective on the NFL Draft

“I’m looking forward to it,” a relaxed-looking Belichick told McAfee. “Draft weekend’s always an exciting time for everybody — for the teams that are building their teams and for the fans and for everybody involved in it, so you know it’s a great event and, yeah, I’m looking forward to seeing it, you know, from the other side. It will be fun to be in Detroit.”

Belichick, known for his frequent trades during the draft, said he expects to chip in what he knows about draft-day dealing.

“I think I can, you know, give a little insight into maybe what the conversations will be in those rounds,” he said. “I’ve made a few trades.”

Belichick’s Departure from the Patriots

Belichick and the Patriots decided to part ways in January and he didn’t land a coaching job for the 2024 season. However, many expect the 72-year-old Belichick to join the TV scene this fall.

Belichick, the mastermind behind six Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots, amassed a career record of 302 wins and 165 losses during his time with the Patriots from 2000 to 2023, as well as with the Cleveland Browns from 1991 to 1995.

Belichick left New England with a total of 333 career wins, including playoffs, placing him second all-time behind Don Shula’s 347 victories.

The 2024 season marks the first time since 1975 that Belichick will not be coaching in the NFL.
