Here’s How Malcolm Mitchell Gained Tom Brady’s Trust As Rookie Receiver

Tom Brady had a lasting impact on plenty of people he interacted with during his two-decade tenure with the New England Patriots but built special relationships with a select few.

Malcolm Mitchell apparently is one of those people.

The former Patriots receiver quickly developed a connection with Brady after joining the Patriots in 2016. And he detailed how he managed to gain Brady’s trust during an appearance on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni and Fauria” on Friday.

“I am not sure I have the answer to that. I can tell you how I approached every day and that was to give it 110 percent and minimize mistakes and show I was dedicated to do whatever it took to win,” Mitchell said, as transcribed by WEEI’s Ryan Hannable.
