“No Sh*t, I Know Who You Are”: Twenty Two Backup QBs & 7 Lombardi Trophies Later, Tom Brady Is Still a Gentle Beast Who Might Just Introduce Himself to You Upon Meeting

It may look like a fairytale when NFL athletes begin their football career. Even for them, it is a treat to see an inspirational athlete like Tom Brady. Despite all the success he has had, he would stay as humble as possible towards fellow athletes, especially rookies. A Patriots backup QB reflected the time as a rookie when TB12 introduced himself at their first meeting.

ESPN on YouTube premiered a video titled ‘Tom Brady makes an impression on all his Patriots backups.’ The film featured existing and past Patriots backup QBs sharing their thoughts on The NFL GOAT, Tom Brady. They discuss how they learned from Brady’s diligence and tenacity and highlight several incidents.

QB Brian Hoyer mentioned, “I was in a meeting with Bill O’Brien, who was the offensive corner at the time, at the quarterback room, and we were going over like the install whatever, and the door opens up and it’s Tom. Obviously, you know, I knew who he was and I stand up to introduce myself. He’s like, ‘Hey, I’m Tom. It’s nice to meet you.’ It’s like, ‘Ya, I mean, like no sh*t, I know who you are.’”

Jacoby Brissett also reminisced during his first week in the Patriots. He was in the room with Brady when Josh McDaniels quizzed him on film questions. When inquired, “What is his play called?” Brissett pondered, but TB12 responded quickly. McDaniels then said, “you got to be that fast.”

It is indeed a privilege to meet Tom Brady in such a capacity. Especially when someone gets to share the same room with the GOAT. But the competitive drive is something that surprises many.

Brian Hoyer also revealed one of the hidden talents of Tom Brady

While Tom Brady has a fierce and competitive standpoint towards the games, he does not like losing off the field. ESPN’s Mike Reiss brought out some rarely heard tales of the quarterback. One of them included Brian Hoyer revealing a thing Brady excels at. The QB mentioned that after playing in Buffalo, they could not return to Boston because of inclement weather. They spent the night in Rochester, and the entire team went for supper. But it turned into a beer-chugging battle.

At that time, someone said that Brady is good at chugging beer. After convincing him to do it. Everyone went crazy when he emptied the beer faster than poured in the glass, slammed the mug on the table, and raised both fists in the air. The Pats are really privileged to see such moments.
