Tom Brady had an episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast on Monday, and he had several celebrity guests, including Rob Gronkowski, Peyton Manning, and Patrick Mahomes. However, one of the more notable guests was his former head coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick had praise for Brady throughout the podcast, and Brady reciprocated. This is a continuation of the public good terms these two have appeared to be on. Belichick even released a statement following Brady’s retirement last week.

Tom Brady: “Appreciate it.”
Jim Gray: Tom, what did Bill do to bring out the best in you?
