Tom Brady has seen the best and the worst of days, both in his life and his 22 seasons in the NFL. He has heard the best of praises with the worst of comments, juggling them all along the way. Now, he feels is the best time to share a piece of advice with the athletes, one in particular, who is truly tasting the power of audience and fans in the NFL, to help them tread through the newfound love wisely.
Lamar Jackson is the main receiver of Brady’s wise words, something that many opinions might consider blunt humbling words. Jackson is shining as brightly as the Ravens, the leaders of the AFC North table and the whole of the AFC with their 9-3 record. Thanks to Jackson, of course, who has led Baltimore to a successful ending against highly competitive teams like the Eagles. However, Brady wants Jackson to keep his soaring spirits in check.

Brady started by showering Jackson and the Ravens with praise. “I love watching the Ravens. Lamar is a tremendous player and their defense has been good for as long as I can remember.” However, to put his point better, he recited some of his anecdotes about how the wins used to pile on their confidence, making them wish for an almost untainted score.
This he can say with a proud smile, as he finished his career without a loss from 3 teams: Vikings(6-0), Buccaneers (4-0), and Patriots (1-0). Moreover, during his peak years with the Patriots, Tom Brady sailed the team without a single loss through the whole season, which is also something he mentioned, before turning to his main words for Jackson.

“You still look at it as a chapter in this book of a season. And just because you have a great chapter in week eight or nine doesn’t mean the next chapter is going to be great,” said Brady, explaining the importance of the player establishing his success in every week of the season. “Just because you’re a great last week doesn’t great next week. And just because you’re bad, this week doesn’t mean you’re going to be bad next week,” emphasized the seven-time Super Bowl winner.
