SUMMARY
- Recently, Apple TV+ released the New England Patriots documentary.
- The documentary features both Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.
New England Patriots is one of the finest franchises in the league, and Bill Belichick, the former manager, played the most crucial role in the franchise’s unbelievable success. Recently, Apple TV+ released a documentary that shows the franchise’s journey to six Super Bowl glory.
Along with Belichick, Tom Brady, the former legendary quarterback of the Patriots, is another prominent figure in the documentary. Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison, the two former safeties of the Patriots, looked at the documentary and thought Belichick didn’t get the praise he deserved.
Belichick is the most excellent manager in the league’s history, and his combination with Brady will always remain legendary. Without him, the franchise may have never reached the stage it is at now. The former manager’s contribution to the franchise is beyond belief, and the hosts should emphasize this fact more.
What did Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison say about Bill Belichick’s appearance in the New England Patriots documentary?
The franchise’s former safeties seemed unhappy with the documentary, as they wanted some merchandise besides Belichick’s name. In this regard, Harrison said, “They act like the last three or four years because the Patriots have struggled that Bill can’t coach.”
The former safety also admitted Belichick made some mistakes and wasn’t always the best guy, but whatever the coach did, he did by thinking about the team. Another exciting point Harrison raised was that Belichick never steps back to give the underdog players an opportunity, but nobody “talks about that.”
WOW… #Patriots legends Rodney Harrison and Devin McCourty RIP and SHRED the #Patriots Dynasty Documentary and how it portrayed Bill Belichick.

Harrison said, “When everybody else is done with a guy, he brings in a Corey Dillon, he brings in a Randy Moss, he brings in a Rodney Harrison.” The former two-time Super Bowl champion added, “I just don’t think that he got enough credit, enough respect, enough props.” He also said he was the “greatest coach of all time.”
Devin McCourty spent a lot of time before making the documentary and worked closely with the production team. At first, McCourty thought it was “gonna be great,” but once he saw the documentary, he thought it was not as good as he had expected. The former three-time Super Champion said, “I felt like I got kind of duped.” McCourty also admitted that all this came off as hostile to Belichick.
