It took guard Cole Strange a few moments to believe the New England Patriots were drafting him in the first round this year.
Strange thought he was being pranked when he received a call from an unknown number with the Patriots on the clock April 28, his father, Greg, told Chris Mason of MassLive.com.
"(Cole) said, 'Sir, I don't mean to be disrespectful at all, but I've gotta know because I've got some crazy friends: Is this a prank?'"
