As 2024 marks the end of Bill Belichick’s and Patriots’ partnership era, former Patriots players embrace each chance they get to revisit the sweaty practicing sessions to the hollering SB wins. Bill Belichick was not just a coach, but also a source of inspiration to master the ball.

However, when it came to mastering the ball, Belichick made sure that his boys were getting a hold of it in every situation, not only under pressure but also in every physical circumstance. For that, during his days with Brady and Gronk, Belichick used to go to every extremity to make the Patriots prepared for the worst.
