The Ringer last year posted a story on Bill Belichick's "crush list," providing a rundown of players the New England Patriots coach has raved about during his tenure.
Belichick's interviews are lacking in emotion, but occasionally, he offers significant praise of other players. The story followed a week in which Belichick raved about Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, and the five-player "crush list" included Jason Witten, Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald Jason Taylor and Ed Reed.
New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead might soon have reason to be on the list. After joint practices between the Saints and Patriots last year, Belichick said Morstead put on a "clinic," and he add to the praise this year leading up to Sunday's game between the two teams.
