For young athletes, it is a dream to team up or compete against Tom Brady. He is in his 23rd year in the game, and no athlete would prefer missing out at the moment. The Buccaneers take on the Browns in Week 12, and a rookie athlete is waiting to sack TB12. Cleveland DT Perrion Winfrey is hopeful to come back in Week 12 and compete against The Pharaoh.
When the Cleveland Browns chose the DT in this year’s draft, Perrion Winfrey was over the moon. He looked like one of the biggest steals. However, his rookie year was a rollercoaster after missing out on a few games due to injuries. He hopes to make a return to face Tom Brady in Week 12 and sack him.
