WATCH: Patriots nation welcomes Bill Belichick with standing ovation during Tom Brady's HOF ceremony
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick seem to be on good terms these days. As the quarterback gets into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday before moving into the booth for his new 10-year deal with FOX, the head coach was present at the ceremony - and not only that, but he also joined the stage.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick enjoyed a partnership that lasted two decades and netted six Super Bowl rings and three other appearances at the big game. They have the most successful partnership in the history of the NFL, and Patriots fans certainly love to see them together after an acrimonious end in 2019.
You can see how much the crowd love to see them reunited just by looking at the videos of the ovation received by the former head coach as soon as he walked into the stage:
Is Tom Brady the greatest NFL player of all time?
Without a doubt. He won seven rings throughout his career - six with the New England Patriots and another with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - which is more than any franchise in the history of the league. And that's not including his three other Super Bowl appearances.
Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, and it's impossible to argue against the theory that had he been drafted by another team, none of this would've happened. His partnership with Bill Belichick made both of them better, and they had a huge amount of success as a result.
Their ending was not the best, as the quarterback wanted a long-term deal and Belichick was afraid to commit to him after his declining 2019 season. Moving to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave Brady some vindication, as if he didn't need Belichick to win a ring. But they're on good terms again now.
Bill Belichick left the New England Patriots in January after a 24-year stint as the head coach of the franchise. Following Brady's tenure, he struggled to produce a consistent offense, and Robert Kraft decided to go in a different direction for the upcoming season.
