Tom Brady had one of his best years in 2017. He came off a Super Bowl campaign against the Houston Texans. That year, he had a full-fledged QB squad to back him up in case of need. However, NBA star John Wall called him out and made a hilarious request to TB12 during a charity game.

The NBA point guard is a skilled passer during the NBA season. There is no question about that. And since his gun-slinging prowess is exposed, there is no refuting that he would thrive on a football field. According to NBC Sports, Wall claims that football was his first sport and seeps confidence while playing, especially when trapping passes. He would be a catastrophe for defensive players with that size and athleticism.
