In order to win back the trust of the fan base, Mayo will face a crucial task of securing timely and consistent wins. It’s a challenging endeavor, no doubt, but he’s already received major support from none other than Tom Brady himself. Brady recently appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” where he shared his thoughts on the Patriots’ decision to name Mayo Belichick’s successor. Brady had nothing but praise for his former teammate. “Jerod was a great leader, a great captain, a great friend. His return to coaching is great for the NFL and great for the Patriots. He has a good idea of how things should be done. I think Jerod does an incredible job with everyone in the locker room. I think he’s going to do great.” Jerod Mayo and Tom Brady were teammates from 2008 to 2015, culminating in a Super Bowl victory in 2014. That shared experience undoubtedly created a strong bond between them. Mayo’s deep understanding of the Patriot Way is undisputed as he spent his entire playing and coaching career in the New England organization. But the burning question remains: Can he replicate the extraordinary success achieved by the iconic duo of Brady and Belichick? Only time will tell when Mayo will begin this new journey.Penguins goal Flames point guardNFLChiefs should go big at quarterbackThe Washington Chiefs don’t exactly have a solid quarterback situation and are an interesting team to watch heading into the offseason. The Chiefs ran Sam Howell under center for most of 2023, but the second-year signal caller struggled mightily in the second half of the season and picked Jacoby Brissett off the bench (although Brissett’s injury forced Howell back to work quickly). Washington went 4-13 and owns the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft this spring, so the Commanders could simply stock up on a quarterback and start over. That seems to be the case with NFL.com’s Nick Shook franchise. “Ron Rivera got engaged to Sam Howell in 2023 and looked a little prophetic,” Shook wrote. “But frankly, as soon as the franchise changed hands, a trade seemed inevitable, barring any unlikely success on the field. That didn’t happen, and Rivera lost his job. The move could also devastate Howell, who struggled with turnovers and wiped out any goodwill he had.
