By now we know the names: Smith, Tebow, Newton, Prescott, Fitzgerald. Dan Mullen’s reputation as a quarterback whisperer has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade, dating back to his time with Urban Meyer at Florida, Utah and Bowling Green.
Meyer and Mullen are credited with being some of the forefathers of the modern spread option that is used around the country today in all levels of football, but one tie you may not be aware of is how big an impact Mullen has had with the New England Patriots and Tom Brady.
That’s right, that Tom Brady.
