There’s an old clip of Tom Brady and Matt Light floating around on social media where Scott Zolak asks them who had the most clout with Bill Belichick in the Patriots’ locker room.
“I don’t know,” Light said. “I would said that his son, Jerod [Mayo], has pretty good pull.”
Brady laughs and says: “If we want something done, we go to Jerod Belichick.”
Things are different now. Belichick is no longer the Patriots’ head coach. Mayo has been picked as his successor.
Mayo spoke at his introductory press conference about being his own man and not trying to emulate Belichick.
