For seven seasons, Tom Brady sat with Jerod Mayo at New England Patriots captains’ meetings. Brady’s final year with the team was Mayo’s first as a defensive assistant on the staff.
So the legendary quarterback Mayo knows exactly what he brings with him as New England’s new head coach.”Herod was a great leader.
What a great captain. Great man,” Brady said on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. “I think he was very successful in football and after he retired he was successful in other areas of his life. I think his return to coaching is good for the NFL and good for the Patriots. “He understands how things need to be done.
I think Jerod does a great job with everybody in the locker room and all the coaches and I think he’s going to do a great job.”Mayo has been praised by defensive players for being a player’s coach, saying in a recent press conference that one of his main goals is to repair relationships within the organization.
This will be one of the first steps Mayo will take to get the Patriots back to the promised land. Brady will be closely watched as he begins the next phase of his career as an NFL broadcaster on FOX.Brady later added, “There’s only one team that’s happy at the end of the year, and there’s 31 other teams that are trying to find answers and find a way to come back.” “The Patriots are one of those teams and they’ve made some significant changes. Clearly, a lot has changed in the NFL.
I am happy because I can concentrate and enjoy. I will focus on every move I make throughout the season. I know when we work with FOX next year, we’ll be faster and ready for some bumps.
