New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick does not like being in the spotlight.
So when Belichick played a major role in the countdown of the “NFL Top 100,” he decided to share it with the quarterback who helped him win five Super Bowls.
Belichick himself selected Brady as one of the QBs for the Top 100, and he spoke about what it was like for the two to take a stroll down memory lane (via Henry McKenna of USA TODAY Sports).
“Spending time with Tom on the set was awesome,” Belichick said. “We’ve been through so many great moments together, both on and off the field, in terms of the actual football game itself, but all the preparation that leads up to it and the competition that’s involved there with other coaches, players, teams, and so forth. Yeah, it was great to talk about those and think back and reflect on some of the great moments that we’ve shared together and how much hard work and the other part of the experiences that went into those moments – not just the result of the play, or a game, or even a season, but all of the things that you think about. I mean, those things don’t just happen.”
Belichick was the one that drafted Brady and elected to stick with his young quarterback even when Drew Bledsoe came back healthy during the tail end of the 2000-01 season. Brady led the Patriots to their first Super Bowl, and has since become one of the greatest signal-callers in NFL history.
The quarterback and head coach are the two most defining figures of the Patriots dynasty, and they will forever be linked in the annals of the game.
