New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo is drawing on inspiration from a former Patriots rival as he begins his first year as head coach.
That person is Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy.
Dungy was part of the heated rivalry between the Patriots and Colts in the 2000s. He got the last laugh in 2007, as he defeated New England on his way to winning Super Bowl XLI against the Chicago Bears.
Now, well over a decade later, Dungy is showing up to Patriots’ OTAs practice and sharing that same knowledge that helped him become a champion.
