Steve Belichick has been quietly working his way up the ranks of the New England Patriots coaching staff, taking over some duties from his dad as he appears to follow the same path to the top of the NFL.
The son of head coach Bill Belichick has been an assistant since 2012, and recently has been taking on a major role. As CBS Sports reported, several Patriots players have said that Steve is now calling plays for the team’s defense and has been doing it for several weeks. As the report noted, Bill Belichick followed the same path before becoming an NFL head coach, helping lead the New York Giants to two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator.
