Former Patriots WR: Bill Belichick Taught Me Football
In a recent episode of the Patriots Report podcast, host Christopher Price and former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan delved into the new Apple TV documentary titled 'The Dynasty.' The documentary chronicles the success of the New England Patriots under head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
During the podcast, Christopher Price highlighted a quote from former Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola: "We worked for Bill, but played for Tom." This encapsulates the unique dynamic that existed within the Patriots' organization during their dominant years. Amendola's words resonate with many who witnessed the era firsthand.
Hogan, who was an integral part of the Patriots during their Super Bowl-winning seasons, expanded on the significance of Amendola's quote. He said, "I believe that too, Bill was my boss. Bill taught me about football, man. I learned more from that man than I could ever imagine." Hogan's admiration for Bill Belichick's coaching acumen was evident, highlighting the immense respect that players had for their head coach.
Hogan further elaborated on the distinctive approach in New England, emphasizing that players bought into Belichick's system and practiced diligently throughout the week. However, when game day arrived, there was a unique loyalty and commitment to the quarterback, Tom Brady.
