Tom Brady pays tribute to Bill Belichick in Patriots Hall of Fame speech: ‘It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you, it was us’

For 20 years, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick were by each other’s side in New England. During that time, they won six Super Bowls with the Patriots as they built one of the best dynasties in NFL history.

Rumors and reports swirled about the end of Brady’s time in New England, though, especially regarding his relationship with Belichick. He later ended up in Tampa Bay, where he helped the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl – his seventh – as the Patriots struggled.

During Wednesday’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony, Brady paid tribute to the legendary coach and made it clear it was a team effort to win those rings.

“To Coach Belichick, thank you for your tireless commitment to develop and push me to be my very best,” Brady said. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you. It was us. Our hard work, our love of the game and the way we worked for one another – that’s what it was all about.

“Let me make this crystal clear. There is no coach in the world I would rather play for than Bill Belichick.”
