When people who aren’t normally talkative are put in a position to speak, we sometimes learn they have a wealth of knowledge and can be captivating in these situations.
New England Patriots head coach and general manager Bill Belichick was a perfect example of this concept in 2019 when he did excellent work as a part of the NFL 100 All-Time Team panel.
Belichick isn’t known as a man of many words–at least not with the media–but his insight and delivery earned him a Sports Emmy nomination for outstanding personality in a studio analyst role.
