Bill Belichick compares Rhamondre Stevenson to Tom Brady, Lawrence Taylor

Rhamondre Stevenson has quickly become one of the New England Patriots' most valuable players on offense. If you ask Pats head coach Bill Belichick, the second-year running back's development has been nothing short of elite.

During Thursday night's Patriots-Vikings matchup, NBC broadcaster Jason Garrett revealed that Belichick raved about Stevenson during the NBC production meeting. He even compared Stevenson to two of the greatest players he has ever coached.

“It was incredible. He went on and on and on," Garrett said. "And Coach doesn’t speak a lot in those production meetings, but he probably talked about Rhamondre for 15 minutes, and he compared his growth and his development in a short period of time to both Tom Brady and to Lawrence Taylor.
