The New England Patriots are over half a decade removed from having Tom Brady under center, and he's been sorely missed in the years following his departure. A 7-9 season with Cam Newton offered an uninspiring offense, Mac Jones' initial promise flamed out quickly, and Jerod Mayo's lone season left much to be desired. The Patriots have finally found their heir to Tom Brady, and the GOAT loves them for it.
In Brady's most recent power rankings, he slotted New England 6th, based on their 7-2 record. He credits "The Vrabel Way" for their ascension. Vrabel's teams have historically been hard-hitting and tough squads that do the fundamentals at an elite level, and that's exactly what this team has done.
