On Tuesday, the Patriots made waves when they traded a 2020 second round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.<\/p>\n
During his Friday press conference, head coach Bill Belichick had high praise for his newest acquisition.<\/p>\n
\u201cSmart kid. Picks things up well,\u201d Belichick said Friday<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what we can do here. Sometimes, as it accumulates \u2014 early downs, third down, red area, situational stuff \u2014 we\u2019ll see what the load looks like. He\u2019s made good progress both days. Works hard. Good kid. He\u2019s really in tune and trying very hard to pick up things quickly, and get on the same page with everybody else. Obviously, there\u2019s a long way to go. A lot of work to do. But he\u2019s working hard at it. You appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n On Twitter Thursday, Sanu voiced appreciation for his new team, sharing a photograph from practice stating “first class”.<\/p>\n Sanu left a 1-6 Falcons team for the best team in the NFL through seven games.<\/p>\n First class pic.twitter.com\/RK6enNYhex<\/a><\/p>\n — Mohamed Sanu Sr. (@Mo_12_Sanu) October 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
