“The great thing about working with the college players is just the growth and the development that we’ve seen,” Belichick said in his news conference. “ … Saw a little bit of that last year when I was at Washington with [Huskies coach Jedd Fisch] and [current North Carolina defensive coordinator Steve Belichick] out there. To see how much the players improve from the spring to the start of training camp and this year of course we haven’t started training camp but through the course of the spring the amount of improvement our players made in those 15 days — most of which were in pads — was something that you never saw in the NFL because you could never wear pads in the offseason.”
