Cleveland Browns safety Rodney McLeod got perhaps the best trolling in at former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick after he exited the franchise on Thursday.
McLeod was a part of the Philadelphia Eagles team that beat the Patriots in Super Bowl 52, and McLeod used a photo of him celebrating with his former Philadelphia teammates while Belichick was walking by to send him off.
McLeod called it “the only photo I have of myself and Belichick!”
Whew, now that’s a funny way to wish the greatest NFL coach of all time well before his next coaching stop in the league.
The only photo I have of myself and Belichick! Truly an honor to share the field with one of the best coaches of my generation and football history. I never experienced the Patriot Way but he transcended that organization! He will forever be a legend ✊🏾🫡 pic.twitter.com/u9XamZQ12z

While we’re not sure where Belichick will coach next, we are sure that McLeod’s social media post made us chuckle.
We’ll see how Belichick transitions into this next phase of his career, and we commend McLeod for finding an inspired way to lightly poke at Belichick during one of the more historic moments in the NFL lately.
