The NFL GOAT had one of his great moments while playing under Belichick. However, he has revealed that he wasn’t the most liked player by Belichick. He disclosed that Belichick would always find faults with all the other players, but legendary linebacker for the New York Giants, Lawrence Taylor, was the one player the Patriots’ HC couldn’t find faults with.

Brady said- “Me playing for Belichick for 20 years, you’re the only player that coach Belichick liked. Everyone had problems, you guys are good at this, not good at this. Brady, you’re good at this, not at this. LT is the only player who can’t have a weakness” remarked the NFL legend.
