Patriots rookie Brenden Schooler got a little too excited after he made a big play Sunday against the Browns, and the internet found it utterly hilarious. His coach, the stoic Bill Belichick, couldn’t help but chuckle, too, the day after.
After Schooler recovered a muffed punt, the 25-year-old was so ecstatic after the play that he walked up to Belichick on the sideline and tried giving him the ball. Confused, the New England coach initially was going to take it before an assistant guided Schooler away from Belichick as the game went on.
During a Monday morning appearance on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show, Belichick chuckled when addressing the sequence.
