High praise from the best coach in history:
“Cam does a great job of connecting with everybody, whether it’s his teammates, his receivers, guys on defense, other people in the organization,” Belichick said. “I think the captain voting — not that that’s the final determination of leadership — but I think the fact that he has been here a pretty short amount of time and earned that type of respect and support from his teammates is pretty impressive.
“But I think it’s across the board — it’s the offensive line, it’s the receivers, it’s all the offensive players and coaches. And it extends into other areas, as well — special teams and defense and other people in the organization. I think we’ve all seen that, and it’s impressive. It’s impressive.
“He’s here a lot. He’s in the building, and he’s visible. He’s in sight, and he’s connecting with people as much as any player. He’s in the building more than any player on the team, but he spends a lot of time talking and connecting and building relationships with those people. He has tremendous leadership. It’s very impressive.”
