Bill Belichick names his GOAT players at all three phases of football

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick truly believes he’s coached the greatest players of all time at every phase.

On defense, he coached the great Lawrence Taylor with the New York Giants, and of course, he won six Super Bowls with quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots.

After hearing Belichick’s recent interview with The 33rd Team, which was transcribed by NESN’s Jason Ounpraseuth, it might be time to add special teams player Matthew Slater to that list.

“I’ve been very fortunate. I feel like I coached the best offensive player in Tom, the best defensive player in football in (Lawrence Taylor) and the best special teams player in football: Matt Slater,” Belichick said.
