Coach B was honored with a video tribute before he got the key to the city from Annapolis mayor Gavin Buckley.

“It feels so amazing to recognize a legendary figure in Coach Bill Belichick, who is one of the most humble people I’ve ever met,” Buckley said. “It’s the classic example of local boy made good. Coach Belichick got his start here in Annapolis then went on to do so many incredible things.

“At every step along the way, he never forgot his hometown. He sells the City of Annapolis all over the world, and I’m just thrilled that today we were able to recognize that.”

The Patriots head coach was born in Nashville but his family moved to the Maryland state capital when his dad, Stephen, got a job as an assistant of the Navy’s football staff. Belichick spent his childhood in the city and he has kind memories.

After enjoying the honor, Belichick will return to New England. His team is getting ready for the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft. Belichick and the Patriots missed the playoffs last season. They have already made some major changes to the roster.
