Drew doesn't get any credit but he helped bring the Pats back to respectability after some horrid years preceding his arrival. He led them to a SB, and then had that awful game in Pittsburgh the following year when the Pats had a great defense and lost that 7-6 playoff game. The year after that he played with a broken finger late in the year and got the team in the playoffs.
He did suffer from happy feet later in his career and probably just got tired of being hit so hard. But by all accounts a solid citizen who had some good years but fell short of true greatness.
