Matt Light shares hilarious stories about pranking Bill Belichick

Pranking Bill Belichick is a bold move, but leave it to former Patriots tackle Matt Light to put one over on the always grumpy New England head coach.

Light joined former teammate Willie McGinest on NFL Network to discuss two instances when he pranked Belichick, and both are hilarious.

“Honey, please don’t that. He’s going to fire you this time.”

The first prank consisted of Light replacing Belichick's computer mouse with one that would shock him whenever he touched it. Of course he didn't like that, and Light noted Belichick made him run extra laps at practice after that stunt.

Even after the first prank, Light went back for more. He gave Belichick an exploding pen ... so you can imagine how that one went.

It's crazy to think Light lasted 11 seasons in New England pulling pranks like that, but Belichick isn't the strict coach he commonly seems to be. He certainly enjoys comedy, and that could be seen when he had his dog Nike take his seat at the table on draft night this year.

Light is a three-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion with New England. He was also inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
