Tom Brady had a stellar career in the NFL. But it was not just because of his pinpoint accuracy in passes. Despite being a 7X SB champion, the NFL GOAT never was the highest-paid QB during his 23-season tenure in the NFL. And the reason behind this was to surround himself with capable teammates who could help him with his ambitions of adding more and more Lombardi trophies to his cabinet.

Amongst all the players Brady shared the field with, there was this one defensive giant who held the fortress for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when Brady led them to the SB champion in Super Bowl LV. And now, another former NFL player has come forward to talk about how he was almost physically crushed by this defensive beast for speaking up in favor of rival QB Aaron Rogers.
