Former NFL executive Bobby Grier died at the age of 82, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. His tenure ended shortly after the 2000 NFL draft, when New England hired Scott Pioli to work with first-year head coach Bill Belichick. The 2000 draft is when the Pats famously landed Tom Brady in the sixth round. "I just said, 'Bobby, I guarantee you you'll never regret drafting Tom Brady.'" In talking with Carr, Grier and the Patriots learned the Wolverines coaching staff wanted to keep Henson, a two-sport athlete, from gravitating toward baseball full time.
