New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty just couldn't help himself upon recently finding out that his head coach in Bill Belichick will be the focus of a new Subway commercial. Because of Belichick's infamously serious demeanor, this is probably the in that most of his players have been waiting for as Subway commercials tend to have some comedic value.

“I can’t wait till we get back in this building and we can all talk about this five-dollar foot long Subway commercial set that we all saw Bill on,” McCourty said while hosting the Double Coverage podcast on Sunday evening. “He had on his same coaches sneakers from the facility. I am very excited to see [him]. I am going to go out on a limb and say Jules [Julian Edelman] probably brings it up first.”

However, the veteran defender didn't stop there as McCourty really went deep into the discussion about his head coach's latest business endeavor. This hardly comes as a surprise, though, as McCourty has never been one to hold back while Belichick usually isn't one to participate in something that isn't uber-serious like a television commercial.

“I am excited to see are we going to get free Subway for the year? Is that going to be what happens? Subway makes a great chocolate chip cookie I believe as I used to eat there all the time. So, I am excited to see what comes of this. Was he selfish and just worked out a deal just for himself? Or did he put the team first and bring Subway to everybody? So, we’ll see how it works out. Maybe COVID meals are Subway from now on.”

McCourty, Belichick, and the rest of the Patriots are about to enter a whole new era of football as longtime New England quarterback Tom Brady is now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Perhaps with Brady out of the picture and former Carolina Panthers signal-caller Cam Newton under center, Belichick will lighten up a bit moving forward.
