Many of Adam Vinatieri's legendary kicks came when he was a member of the New England Patriots, so it's only fitting head coach Bill Belichick had something to say about his former player following the kicker's retirement.
Belichick released a statement calling Vinatieri "the greatest kicker of all-time":
"Adam Vinatieri is the greatest kicker of all-time who made the greatest kick of all-time in the 2001 divisional playoffs. His consistency, mental toughness and performance under pressure was legendary. I am honored to have coached Adam, going all the way back to his rookie year in 1996 and through some of the most special moments in Patriots and league history.
