You're not supposed to cut any corners in doing it. That was always my approach . . . It's second nature to work hard. Belichick, who spent time with Seymour at the scouting combine in Indianapolis, said Seymour was one of the players his team had targeted. This guy is no sleeper.
Light is a little bit of a sleeper.
Or at least a bit unusual in that he has moved up as a prospect as he got older. He began his collegiate career as a tight end. One of the Patriots current coaches, Randy Melvin, used to coach at Purdue and had personal knowledge of Light. Belichick said that when Scott Pioli, the Patriots' assistant director of player personnel, personally scouted a Purdue practice before the Ohio State game, Light became so emotional with his teammates that he almost started a fight during warmups. The Patriots love his passion for the game, Belichick said.
