Bill Belichick is arguably the greatest football coach in the history of the game. 

He has so many Super Bowl rings as proof of that and he also created the biggest dynasty in NFL history with the Patriots

While I’m sure he loves all of those big wins, it feels like he enjoys something a lot more than those games—watching tape of prospects and trying to find guys nobody else is really targeting. He’s been known to turn some of those players into stars. 

Well, thanks to Georgia’s Kirby Smart, we now know one unique thing Belichick looks for in a group of players—big butts.

For real. 

Allow the Bulldogs head coach to explain: 

That makes a lot of sense. Also, I could make a joke about Belichick liking big butts and not being able to lie about it but I’m not gonna go there.

Learning stuff is cool. Thanks, Kirby Smart!
