LeGarrette Blount didn’t quite answer the question when he was asked how long New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick will go before retiring. But Blount did indicate what might be keeping the 69-year-old coach around.
“I think he’s going to be for a while — at least until he proves that he don’t need 12,” Blount told NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry in the week before the Super Bowl.
When Blount says 12, he clearly means Tom Brady, who retired this offseason after winning a Super Bowl in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
