"Johnny Foxborough" Mark Clagg Profiled By Sports Illustrated

FOXBOROUGH, MA — If someone makes a mistake during a New England Patriots practice session, chances are Bill Belichick will make a reference to getting Foxborough Warriors that could do a better job. Even Tom Brady isn't impervious to the remark, as Donte' Stallworth told Monday Morning Quarterback, Belichick once yelled at Brady "I can get Johnny Foxborough from down the street to make a better throw than this."

Turns out Johnny Football is real and is a regular at Ahern Field on Friday nights in the fall.

When Belichick is talking about Johnny Football, he's referring to Foxborough Warriors quarterback and team captain Mark Clagg, a senior at Foxborough High School who has dreams of majoring in business and perhaps playing Division III football.

His coach Jack Martinelli told Sports Illustrated that he's the type of player that make sure he gets the next two or three plays right if something goes wrong on the first one.

The magazine goes on to profile Clagg and his family, from his mom's tragic death from cancer, his family's relationship with former Patriots quarterback Steve Grogan and his family, and his experience as a guest of Robert Kraft at the AFC Championship at Gillette Stadium.
