Ex-Jets player who almost killed Drew Bledsoe blames him for Tom Brady era

Former New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis says former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, not him, is responsible for the hit that led to Tom Brady ’s rise and the Patriots dynasty.

In a recent interview with ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Lewis broke a long silence on the subject and pointed directly at Bledsoe’s decision-making as the true catalyst.

“[Bledsoe] just signed a $100 million deal to be what type of quarterback? A passing quarterback, correct?” Lewis said in Brady vs. Belichick, a book by longtime NFL reporter Gary Myers. “Had he not got outside the pocket and ran with the ball, would we be talking about this? Who caused the event? The person who was with the ball.”
