Jacksonville Jaguars hopeful Sammis Reyes has revealed he survived a potentially embarrassing moment involving New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as he tried to make it as an NFL player.
The Chilean tight end came through the NFL's International Player Pathway Programme (IPPP) and has spent time with the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears over the past two seasons before signing with the Jags in May.
When the 27-year-old, who played college basketball at Tulane University, had his pro day in front of NFL coaches and scouts a couple of years ago as he tried to earn a roster spot or a practice squad place, he crossed paths with six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Belichick.
