South Carolina Deebo Samuel has a big couple of weeks ahead of him. In less than two weeks, Samuel will know where he's headed to begin his pro career as he continues preparing for the NFL Draft he's taking a bunch of pre-draft visits, including one with the New England Patriots last week.

Samuel apparently liked how his visit went and feels quite familiar with the team. Samuel might've gotten a bit too comfortable, posting a video on social media with a message for Patriots coach Bill Belichick, per Peter King of NBC Sports.

“Hey Billy, I’ll see you in a month, my man,” Samuel said. It's a bit bold from Samuel, who hasn't even been drafted yet. King writes, “I don’t believe Tom Brady is familiar enough with his head coach after 19 years to refer to him like this: ‘Hey Billy.'”

Samuel was joking around, and it's not as if anyone will take it too seriously, but it could get him bumped down a few spots on New England's draft board.

For entertainment purposes, I'd now really like to see the Patriots draft Samuel. They were apparently interested enough to bring him in for a visit, and they could use a receiver like him. Last season, he had 62 receptions for 882 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Most mock drafts currently have Samuel going sometime on Day 2, and he's a good bet to be taken sometime in the second round. Matt Miller of Bleacher Report had him going 62nd overall in his latest mock, just two spots ahead of where the Patriots pick.
