Jerod Mayo sees a ‘true professional’ in retained Patriots safeties coach Brian Belichick

There were three on the New England Patriots’ staff. Now there is one.

But as Jerod Mayo begins his first organized team activities as an NFL head coach, he is glad to have a familiar name retained.

Brian Belichick enters 2024 in the same capacity as before.

“True professional,” Mayo told reporters during his Monday press conference on the practice fields outside Gillette Stadium. “You know, any time you see your dad and your brother go somewhere else, the natural thing would be to go with them.”

January brought the parting of ways with Bill Belichick after 24 seasons as the head coach in Foxborough.
