Mike Reiss, of the Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick called Minnesota offensive coordinator Mitch Browning to share his initial thoughts on RB Laurence Maroney. Browning said, ""(Belichick) said it's been a long time since he's had a running back accelerate through the hole like Maroney. He also said Laurence has fit in well with the other players."

I hope he does good there. He is a quality back.

agreed!

I was soooooooo happy to see him go to NE, he will do just fine there with a perfect opportunity for him

Great news all-round.. I can't wait to see Maroney tear it up in the NFL like he did the Big 10. I'll be following New England purely to see how he does in the years to come. Hopefully he can push Corey Dillon out of the starting role in 2007! :grin:

i hate the pats there for i hate him going there but i hope he does good only when he doesnt play against us

lucky guy to get thrown in with such an impressive football organization. all the luck for when dillion gets injured and maroney gets to shine.

yeah, i'll definatly be watching him closely, i was glad he got drafted by a good team

I actually think he will do a better job in the Pats' running scheme than he did in Minnesota's zone scheme. I am very interested in this kids future.

Exactly, what a lucky guy!

I wouldnt be surprised at all if he pushes dillon out of the starting spot...and I also wouldnt be surprised if he's the OROY!
