Brady Trusts LaFell
Wide receiver Brandon LaFell has earned Tom Brady’s trust, becoming one of his best targets.
LaFell has 53 receptions for 712 yards, both of which are third on the team.
And that’s after he had zero catches after two games.
“Learn this playbook, because that’s been the toughest challenge,” LaFell told the Boston Globe when asked how he avoided becoming a poor free agent signing.
“My coach has been telling me, the guys that [were] here, they couldn’t learn the playbook. And being on the same page with Tom, just seeing things out of his eyes, meeting with him, talking to him: ‘Hey, man, where do you want me to be on this?’ or ‘What did you see from the defense that I really didn’t see, that you want me to do?,’ stuff like that.”
He said that he'll ask to stay on the field to repeat plays until they’re right.
He also said Aaron Dobson helped him learn the playbook.
Brady has targeted LaFell 86 times so far this season.
