Reiss ESPN Boston: Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL: Bill Belichick's history lessons always made an impression
“Patriots 2014 sixth-round draft choice Jon Halapio has been one of the best stories of the Giants’ spring practices, earning the confidence of Pat Shurmur’s coaching staff to the point that he is on track to enter training camp as the team’s top center. The Patriots loved Halapio’s toughness when they made him the 179th overall pick in ’14, but he was far from ready, not even staying on board on the team’s practice squad that year as he played for the Boston Brawlers of the Fall Experimental Football League. Halapio got another chance in 2016 when the Patriots re-signed him on the eve of training camp, but again didn’t stick before finally emerging with the Giants last year. It’s a story of perseverance and a reminder that players develop at different rates.”
