'That's how we grow:' Inside Bill Belichick's hands-on approach in Patriots practice

FOXBORO — Back in 2009, during “A Football Life” documentary, Bill Belichick told us when he wanted to stop coaching.

“I won’t be like Marv Levy and coaching in my 70s, I know that,” Belichick said.

Belichick was 57 years old at the time. Thirteen years and four more Super Bowls later, the Patriots coach turned 70 this April and he’s not slowing down. For Belichick, age 70 is just a number. To see that, all you had to do was watch Patriots OTAs and minicamp.

This offseason, we saw Belichick being more hands-on with the offense after the team lost longtime offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
