Not only is Sony Michel a talented football player, he apparently knows his share of U.S. history as well.

The former UGA running back toured the New England Patriots facility over the weekend after the franchise selected him in the first round of the NFL draft.

Along with former UGA teammate Isaiah Wynn, the first of the Patriots’ two first-round selections, Michel impressed Patriots owner Robert Kraft when they viewed a 42-year-old photo of a famous former First Lady of the United States.

See the exchange in the video above.

Also, check out the video below of Michel and Wynn visiting the Patriots.
