Toucher & Rich: Willie McGinest Talks About Alex, Tom Brady's Health & Fitness Guru

BOSTON (CBS) - Former Patriots linebacker, 3x Super Bowl winner and current NFL Network analyst Willie McGinest joined the Toucher & Rich show Thursday morning on Radio Row as part of 98.5 The Sports Hub's continuing coverage of Super Bowl XLIX in Phoenix.

We know Tom Brady's health is of utmost importance to him. He's expressed his desire to play as long as he can on numerous occasions, and his fitness regimen is well documented.

In a December Sports Illustrated article, author Greg Bishop visited Brady and detailed the relationship between the quarterback and trainer Alex Guerrero, who teammates describe as "Brady's Mr. Miyagi."

McGinest actually introduced Guerrero to Brady, and even though the team was cautious of the trainer at first, his body of work speaks for itself as more and more players train with him now.

"[Brady] would drink mountain lion blood to play another five or 10 years," McGinest told T&R.
