Deion Branch, the Super Bowl XXXIX MVP as a member of the New England Patriots, always knew McElwain was going places, and for all of the right reasons. McElwain was Branch's receivers coach for two seasons at Louisville in 2000 and 2001. The two have remained close. In fact, the morning of Branch's first Super Bowl with the Patriots (Super Bowl XXXIII), he made it a point to reach out to those he felt had most profoundly impacted his life.
McElwain was on that list.
"It's the biggest game of your life and one of the biggest days of your life, and you want the people who had the most influence on your life to know what they mean to you," said Branch, who's now retired after playing 12 seasons in the NFL.
