While the odds are against Bill Belichick and the Patriots winning the AFC East in the 2023 season, recently retired safety Devin McCourty isn’t quite ready to count out his old coach (and team).
McCourty, 35, called time on his 13-season career in March. As he assesses New England now that he’s gone from the team’s roster, the three-time Super Bowl champion reminded viewers that Belichick and the Patriots “love being the underdogs” during a Thursday morning appearance on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
“I think this team thrives and everybody thrives in that,” McCourty said, as transcribed by Mark Daniels of MassLive.
