As the NFL Combine wrapped up in Indianapolis this past week, former New England Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest reminisced on one of his favorite career moments in the city.

McGinest shared video over Twitter from his fourth down tackle of Colts running back Edgerrin James at the one-yard line to preserve a Patriots 38-34 victory.

“Back in Indy this past week brought back some good memories” McGinest wrote.

The play was one of many made by a dominant 2003 defense that helped the Patriots win their final 15 games and a Super Bowl championship following a 2-2 start.

McGinest earned his second career Pro Bowl selection that season.
