We all know that Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks to ever clutch a pigskin. In fact, a large percentage of football fans would claim that he IS the very best. While this may have something to do with his six Super Bowl rings, his perpetual domination of the AFC, and his seemingly ageless existence… he’s also quickly rising in the ranks in a completely different area.
Tom Brady is one of the best social media follows in the NFL. There, we said it.
Representing one of the oldest players in the NFL (in fact, only Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri and free agent kicker Matt Bryant are older), you wouldn’t necessarily guess that Brady would be the quarterback taking social media by the horns and running with it. But here we are.
On Thursday, Tom Brady got involved in the ever-expanding Lamar Jackson conversation in pretty much the funniest way imaginable. Challenging him to a race.
Oh, you thought we meant a straight up footrace? No, no, no… Lamar has to be wearing rollerblades.
After the game, reporters dutifully told Jackson about Brady’s proposal. His response was pretty great.
Honestly, though. $10? $20? Would you pay $50? JUST MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
