The experienced star, added Tom Brady, played great football even when he was with the Patriots. “I would say that I love watching Tom Brady play the game of football. Because he is a champion and he makes his teammates better, right? If you think about the greatest athletes we’ve ever seen play, Michael Jordan did the same, Larry Burke did the same. Tom Brady is doing the same, whether that was in New England or now with Tampa Bay. So I am cheering for Tampa Bay. I just want a great game,” he said.
