The GOAT Tom Brady might have lost his cool in the locker room, but he was all about getting real with his teammates. Even after two years of Tom Brady bidding his goodbye to football, his former teammates fondly remember him. Julian Edelman, one pillar of Brady’s offense, falls on this list. However, there is a small twist. Edelman’s memories with Brady are not all sunshine and flowers. The WR-QB duo had their differences on the field, and Brady was the one to voice his opinions out loud.

On the show Games with Names, Julian Edelman revealed how Tom Brady found a way to apply some soothing balm when he had done some damage. During their practice sessions, Tom Brady often used to become “like the coach,” as Edelman puts it. “I remember he used to yell at me a lot, and I was a young player. He would get on me because he knew I could take it. He knew what kind of guy I was,” Edelman said, taking a good trip down memory lane.

Recalling one such incident when the WR felt down after Brady yelled at him, Edelman explained how Tom Brady got his spirits up. “One day he got on me and he could tell out that I was a little down,” Edelman prefaced before revealing Brady’s way of expressing his ‘love’ for him. “He goes, ‘Hey, babe. The day I stop yelling at you, the day I don’t love you no more. Because the more I yell at you the means the more I love you.”
