This week, NFL Network analyst and former scout Daniel Jeremiah posted on social media a single-spaced, all-caps summary of Bill Belichick’s philosophies when looking for players. Jeremiah received the handout in 1991, when he attended the Baltimore Ravens’ “scout school.”
It’s old. Yet, as Belichick retools his New England Patriots, it’s clear that old is always new. This is especially the case in replacing the team’s oldest and most iconic player, Tom Brady.
It’s why the Pats seem content, even slightly confident, entering the 2020 season with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer at quarterback.
