Tom Brady fans will see him as the Greatest Quarterback of All Time. They also know that the QB has a cut-throat competitive approach during games. However, when he faces a defeat, he really doesn’t want to be recalled about whom he lost to. That’s what the seasoned quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, had to say about Brady.

Journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has probably seen a lot in his time with the NFL. As of now, he is a free agent. But he made major memories during his illustrious career. However, tracking down the 7-time Super Bowl champion to have his own handshake is among his absolute favorite career flashbacks.

During a recent appearance on ESPN+’s America’s Caddie program, golf analyst Michael Collins inquired Ryan Fitzpatrick about Fitzpatrick’s favorite memory from his 17-year career with nine different teams. He recalls him with the New York Jets when Brady didn’t shake his hand just after his big win. Tom Brady was in the New England Patriots at that time.

He stated, “Beating Tom Brady, after the first time, because after the first time he didn’t shake my hand. I was on the Jets [for the second win, four years later], and I had to chase him down on the 50-yard line.”

Brady, he claims, is a fierce competitor who is devastated once he ends up losing. He furthermore mentions, “Apparently, he hates losing more than everybody else hates losing. When he does lose, I want a handshake.”

NFL post-match pleasantries are a simple gesture of gamesmanship in an otherwise fierce sport, but they could also torment your adversary courteously.

Quarterbacks who previously vanquished Tom Brady

Tom Brady is by far the most embellished player in the NFL’s antiquity. Brady has appeared in ten Super Bowls and won six of them during his two-decade campaign of terror. He has a 33-11 career playoff record, but only seven opposing quarterbacks are to bear responsibility for all those 11 shortfalls he faced.

The Manning brothers have defeated Brady 5 times in the playoffs, and Joe Flacco defeated him multiple times. While filling over for an injury sustained Carson Wentz, Eagles saga Nick Foles incensed the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. After his playoff effectiveness, he also failed to secure a gesture with Brady. Just like Ryan Fitzgerald. The list also includes Jake Plummer, Mark Sanchez, Nick Foles, and Ryan Tannehill as well.
