Bill Belichick stunned Patriots fans by drafting Kyle Dugger with top pick in 2020 class

With their first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Patriots selected Kyle Dugger from Lenior-Rhyne University.

Many fans were perplexed by the pick, as Dugger is not necessarily a mainstream name. Even still, he should help the Patriots beef up their defense and depth at safety. Winning the Cliff Harris Award as the best defensive player in Division II football, he certainly has pedigree.

He’s the first pick in what is slated to be a busy night for the New England Patriots organization. They have a treasure chest of draft picks, and they will use a majority of them Friday night. Here are some of the best reactions to Dugger coming to New England.

Are we certain Kyle Duggar wouldn’t have been on the board in round 6

Round 2 Pick 37 NE Kyle Duggar DB Lenior Rhyner
1st D2 DB taken in the 2nd round since 2006. Scary atheticism for D2. Dominant player. 6-1 220 large safety who can also return kicks. 100% a patriots type of player. Always ready to make a play.

Whos Kyle Duggar? Besides a safety from Lenoir-rhyne university

Kyle Duggar, a D-2 safety who is already 24, is such a Patriots pick. He'll probably be great. #NFLDraft2020 #Patriots

Kyle Duggar to the Patriots just feels like he’s going to be an animal.
