Since his selection at 27th overall in the 2010 draft, safety Devin McCourty has become an influential leader of the Patriots defense.
A defensive captain for eight consecutive seasons, McCourty has been apart of five trips to the Super Bowl during his Foxboro tenure.
Before Super Bowl LIII, McCourty hinted at the possibility of retirement, but on February 21st acknowledged he plans to return in 2019.
Over the years, McCourty’s voice with his teammates has also become an integral part of his success in New England.
As part of their look back at the 2018 season, the Patriots shared video over Twitter containing the best McCourty pregame speeches.
Check out how “DMac” fired up his defense all year long in the tweet below.
