Former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel was back speaking his mind on Twitter this week with some rather head turning comments about his relationship with Bill Belichick.
A fourth round draft pick by Belichick in 2003, Samuel spent his first five seasons in New England, winning two Super Bowls along with a Pro Bowl selection in 2007.
On Tuesday, Samuel appeared to indicate he deserves more credit for Belichick’s success with cornerbacks.
You can read his tweets reflecting back on his Belichick relationship below.
Fun Fact: I made Belichick understand the cornerback position better and how to make plays in any coverage. He never agreed with the way I played but now he teaches it. #pick6 #hof

Fun Fact: When I was in Atlanta getting ready to play the Patriots before the game me, Tom, and Bill huddled up and Belichick immediately start talking s*** to me. That’s how we rock! #pick6

Despite the claims, Samuel provided no specifics of what he taught Belichick.
CLNS Media’s Evan Lazar later pointed out Samuel’s “T-Step” technique as one potential impact on Belichick.

The “T-Step” technique led to Samuel’s reputation as “Mr. Pick Six” as he finished his career with six of them, three as a Patriot.
In 75 regular season games, Samuel logged 22 of his career total 51 interceptions in New England.
