Willie McGinest played in the NFL for 15 seasons, so he played with a ton of players through the years.
The former Patriots outside linebacker revealed his favorite teammates in a list for NFL.com and a few Patriots were included. McGinest played for the Patriots from 1994-2005 and then the Browns from 2006-08.
In order, his favorites were Tom Brady, Ty Law, Joe Thomas, Richard Seymour and Ben Coates.
Here is what he wrote about Brady: I've known Brady a long time, and there's not much I haven't already said. His competitive nature, work ethic and ability to perform at the highest level in the most pressure-packed situations are why he's considered the best to ever play our game. It's why he's won three league MVP awards. It's why he's won SIX Lombardi Trophies. It's why he's still playing at 42 years old (he'll turn 43 in August). The one thing I'll point out in this piece is that Brady can work in any system and with anyone. He's always been about the success of the team, so I can't wait to watch how this new chapter unfolds in Tampa. His competitive nature won't let him fail.
