New England Patriots legend Tom Brady believes Jerod Mayo will be a great successor to Bill Belichick for the franchise.
Brady and Mayo were teammates for eight seasons, and Mayo's first year on staff as the inside linebackers coach was Brady's last with the Patriots.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion said Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show that Mayo "was a great leader, a great captain" and praised how the 37-year-old interacts with his players.
