McCourty was a member of the winless Cleveland Browns team from 2017. Then in 2018, he won the Super Bowl for the Patriots alongside his brother.Â
“These past 13 seasons have been one hell of a journey,” McCourty said in an Instagram post. “And as I reflect and look back on my career, I have far surpassed any and every expectation I set for myself back in 2009 — and that’s what I’m most proud of when I look back at my career.”
