Tom Brady caused quite a stir when he decided to leave New England Patriots for a new challenge in the form of Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The six-time Super Bowl winner arrived in Florida earlier this year to embark on a new adventure.

Brady signed a two-year deal with the Bucs worth somewhere around $60 million. At 42, the former NFL MVP winner has shown that he is hungry to win more. The arrival of former Pats teammate Rob Gronkowski will undoubtedly serve as another positive step in that direction. Here are some words on Brady and the Buccaneers from fresh new recruit – Tristan Wirfs.

Protecting a guy like Tom Brady is a big deal, says Tristan Wirfs

Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the 13th pick in the 2020 NFL draft. In a recent interview with Tampa Bay Times, the promising youngster spoke about arriving in Florida and playing alongside one of the GOAT’s – Tom Brady.

“To protect a guy like Tom is a pretty big deal. The first time I met him, we were just coming around a corner and met each other. He said, ‘What’s up, big dog?’ I thought it was kind of crazy because he’s Tom Brady. Then he asked me how old I was and I told him 21, and he kind of started laughing.”
