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.”
