Bill Belichick’s treatment of players – specifically veteran players – was brought into question this week after Tom Brady’s personal trainer, Alex Guerrero, said the coach “didn’t evolve” in his treatment of Brady.
In an interview with WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Friday, safety Devin McCourty said he’s “got nothing for the Tom Brady connections.” But McCourty, who’s in his 12th season with the Patriots, did challenge the idea that veteran players are treated the same way as rookies and younger players.
“I remember hearing Jimmy Johnson speak my rookie year. He came to visit, and said every player will be treated fair, but not exactly the same,” McCourty said.
