Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome into Tom Carrey's

0:12.1

Patriots Talk podcast. We've got so much stuff to get to this week, obviously, but one of the big things was the Boston College Pro Day. Patriots had a huge contingent of 10 individuals

0:21.7

at the BC Pro Day. They're looking at the offensive line, Ozzie Tripillo, Drew Kendall, Jack

0:28.1

Connolly, and also on the defensive side of the ball with Donovan, Phil, who? Donovan

0:32.8

Ezoraku. My God, can you just pronounce a name? It's not that hard.

0:37.6

You're not that old.

0:39.1

But we're going to bring Billy O'Brien in right now to have a conversation about not just his prospects,

0:45.7

1:50.4

Yeah, a huge Patriots contingent as part of that turnout with Mike Vrabble there and Elliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden and your good friend, Doug Marone, and we got to see him work with some of the linemen.
