The Patriots made a habit of attracting big-name players during their 20-year reign of dominance. Rex Ryan thinks one person — not two — had something to do with that.
Ryan, appearing on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, made some interesting comments about the Patriots dynasty. There has been a long debate as to who deserves more credit between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick for New England’s success. Ryan, who faced the Patriots quite often when he coached the Jets and Bills, believes Brady is the reason why players wanted to play for the Patriots.
