Football's favorite twins will be teammates for at least one more season. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the New England Patriots and veteran cornerback Jason McCourty have agreed to terms on a two-year deal, allowing him to continue playing alongside his brother, Devin.

The Patriots acquired McCourty and a seventh-round draft pick from the Cleveland Browns this time last year in exchange for sixth-round selection, meaning they added a player of consequence by moving down just 16 spots in the draft.

Cleveland surely would have driven a harder bargain in trade negotiations if it knew just how important a role McCourty would play for the eventual Super Bowl champions.

After barely getting on the field in Week 1, McCourty went on to start 12 games at cornerback for New England, finishing 70 tackles, 10 passes defensed, and one interception.

He made arguably the biggest play of the Patriots' season, too, when he broke on a deep throw intended for a wide open Brandin Cooks in the end zone, deflecting the pass and maintaining his team's slim 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Rams in the third quarter of Super Bowl LIII.

Needless to say, the last year has represented a major change of fortune for McCourty, who went from playing for the 0-16 Browns a year ago to making a major contribution in New England's third Super Bowl victory in five seasons.

The 31 year old, minutes younger than his brother, will play another season with Devin before the other McCourty has a free-agency decision to make of his own next offseason.
