There are several fans of Tom Brady who will pass out if they ever see him. Or better, if they ever receive a jersey from him as a gift. And not only an average fan of his, but many fellow athletes and celebrities also adore him. One such man who finds Tampa Tom the best is the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.

An adorable interaction between them shows the fans how respectful the players are to each other. Along with that, Brady gave the best gift upon Big Ben’s request.

The incident happened back in 2016. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Steelers faced each other on the Heinz Field turf. Roethlisberger did not take part in the game because of an injury. Before the game started, the two great QBs shared greetings and chatted with each other.

But the two-time Super Bowl-winning Roethlisberger had a request for Tom Brady. “Um, hey, listen,” he said. “I’ve never done this before, but I would love to get a jersey at some point. It’d mean…There’s not many I want to put in my office. You’re the best, dude.”

And Tampa Tom, being a cool dude, accepted the request. “I’ll get you after the game,” was the response of the NFL GOAT. What a lucky man to receive such a gift from one of the best athletes! The incident is a great show of respect and sportsmanship.

What did Big Ben do with the jersey of Tom Brady?

The respect between the highly successful quarterbacks is mutual. But the fact that the NFL Insider caught the precious moment didn’t sit well with Big Ben. Roethlisberger said, “I hate that those things get taped and [heard] because it wasn’t meant for that.”

Big Ben, who retired from the field in 2022, revealed he hung the jersey in his office. There are other great competitors’ jerseys he hung on the wall. “I put it up in my office with the likes of the Marinos and Elways and Kellys and things like that.” And California Cool regards him as a fantastic and tough player.
