Bill Belichick discusses biggest adjustment from NFL rules to college football

Posted Jun 9, 2025
"I think it’ll probably be less volume," Bill Belichick said one difference between college football and the NFL. "Fewer plays, fewer calls, fewer adjustments, but you’re looking at fewer on the other side too. A lot of that has to do with quarterbacks. In college, you get a four or five-year player. That guy’s got a big leg up on a kid with a year or two of experience." (On3.com)
