Tom Brady’s “Man in the Arena” series on ESPN+ has rolled out episodes on a weekly basis and gives much further context into the New England Patriots’ dynasty, starting from the very beginning.
Brady, with Drew Bledsoe giving his input as well, elaborates on taking over the starting role and he dove deep into the first three Super Bowl runs during the first three episodes. The fourth episode debuts on Tuesday and it will take a look at the 2007 season, beginning with the signing of Randy Moss.
On Tuesday morning following the Patriots’ 14-10 win over the Buffalo Bills, Bill Belichick was asked whether or not he’d check the series out.
“I haven’t, but I am sure Tom did a great job, like he always does,” Belichick said on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show”. “He was such a centerpiece in obviously all those games. I can’t wait to see it.”
He continued to give Brady praise, along with Lawrence Taylor, and continued to express the fact that he’ll watch the show.
“I definitely will (watch it) and as I have said many times, nobody deserves more credit for our success here than Tom does,” he said. “He’s a great player, great person, great leader. Just a tremendous opportunity for me to coach. Probably the greatest player in NFL history and on defense with [Lawrence] Taylor, the greatest offensive player with Tom and greatest defensive player with Taylor. It’s been a tremendous opportunity for me as a coach. I certainly learned a lot from Tom. He helped me develop as a coach, as did Taylor. I am very thankful for my opportunity to have over 30 years coaching those two guys.”
Belichick is oftentimes selective about discussing Brady-related topics, but he felt good and expressed his respect for the greatest quarterback to ever play.
