In the third episode, Robert Kraft described himself as &#8220;a self-made businessman who ran a paper company,&#8221; straining the reality. Although Kraft was not Elon Musk, his portrayal of himself as a man from modest beginnings demonstrates the image the Patriots owner hopes to instill in the minds of the public.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bill Parcells is still pissed at Robert Kraft<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKraft had no real background in football, and in his inexperience, took the draft away from me&#8230; I felt like some people that were incompetent were making decisions for the organization personnel-wise, and I didn\u2019t like it.

After Kraft vetoed him, Terry Glenn, who had two seasons of 1,000 yards with the Patriots but also ran afoul of the law and was arrested for domestic abuse, was selected by New England with the seventh overall choice.<\/p>\n<p>In the second round, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Brackens, who went on to be a Pro Bowl player and second-team All-Pro. Three choices later, the New England Patriots selected Lawer Milloy. Despite setting several club milestones, injuries ended his career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bill Parcells and Robert Kraft are still bitter years after Patriots split <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0bcDR8AKcP\">https:\/\/t.co\/0bcDR8AKcP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TApPAuLMOF\">pic.twitter.com\/TApPAuLMOF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1761155427935432978?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>How did Robert Kraft make his money?<\/h3>\n<p>Growing up, Kraft hawked newspapers outside the former Braves Stadium in Boston and eventually became wealthy in the paper and packaging industries.
