Bill Belichick outlines the keys to the early success of the New England Patriots dynasty

Whenever the New England Patriots dynasty ceases to exist, we'll look back and wonder, How exactly did they do it?

Well, the Pats got lucky with Tom Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Without Brady, who knows where they'd be?

They also have done an exceptional job finding hidden gems; Rob Ninkovich, Julian Edelman, Malcolm Butler and Dion Lewis are just a few recent examples.

As Bill Belichick explained during his keynote question-and-answer session at the 2016 Salesforce World Tour event in Boston, the Pats also have benefitted from a unique approach.
