Patriots outside linebackers coach Steve Belichick is becoming a fixture in New England—just like his father, six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick.
Hired by the Patriots shortly after leaving Rutgers, where he played football and lacrosse from 2008-11, the younger Belichick has worked in several roles within the organization en route to three Super Bowl championships. The 2023 season will mark his 12th year with the franchise.
There was a time, however, when Belichick was a just another green, wide-eyed young assistant. Appearing on longtime NFL defensive end Chris Long’s podcast Wednesday, recently retired former Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty told a classic story about Belichick’s early years working under his dad.
