The New England Patriots are very firmly in the Mac Jones era, as they've won seven straight games as the hottest team in the NFL. But that doesn't mean Bill Belichick has forgotten about his former quarterback – some guy named Tom Brady.
The Patriots head coach was recently asked on The Greg Hill Show about the ESPN documentary focused on Brady's 10 Super Bowls entitled “Man in the Arena”. Instead of giving a typically reserved response, Bill Belichick was rather effusive in his answer.
Via NESN, transcribed by WEEI:
“I haven’t (seen it), but I am sure Tom did a great job, like he always does,” the Patriots coach said. “He was such a centerpiece in obviously all those games. I can’t wait to see it.”
Belichick didn’t stop there, as he pivoted to very high praise of his former quarterback.
“I definitely will (watch it) and as I have said many times, nobody deserves more credit for our success here with the Patriots than Tom does,” Belichick said. “He’s a great player, great person, great leader. Just a tremendous opportunity for me to coach.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick may no longer be playing on the same side together, but their legendary run with the Patriots may very well go down as the greatest player-coach relationships in sports history.
