The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl last season. Their success has been largely credited to their young head coach Sean McVay. Recently though, the head coach found himself on the wrong side of the credit. He was accredited of taking shots at the Patriots during the NFL Draft 2022.

Sean McVay found himself in the news, but it wasn’t good for his reputation this time. During the NFL Draft 2022, the New England Patriots drafted Cole Strange. After seeing the draft pick, Mcvay burst into laughter, and his video went viral.

However, McVay was quick to rectify the situation. The Rams head coach reached out to Bill Belichick and Cole Strange to clear his stance on the situation.

Sean McVay claimed that the situation was misunderstood

Sean McVay, the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, called Bill Belichick and Cole Strange. Talking about the conversation, he said, “I wish that it wouldn’t have gotten misunderstood,” McVay said. “It was more of a reflection of, I was actually giving Les a hard time because when we started watching him, I think we both were in agreement, there’s no way he’d be there (at 104) because we like the player so much.” 

McVay further talked about how much respect he has for coach Bill Belichick. He added, “If there’s anybody that has more respect for Coach Belichick and what he’s done than I do, I’d like to see them because I have tremendous respect for this profession and the players that play at this level and I would never want it to get misunderstood for Cole Strange or the Patriots organization that anything but respect for the player. That was my reaction and any misunderstanding was my fault for the way I probably communicated that.”
