Tom Brady returning to Foxborough after a long time to play against his former team, New England Patriots, is the headline not just of the week but a highlight of the season as well. And as the GOAT returns to play as an opponent, people are surely going to talk about it all the time.
However, the Patriots’ OLB Matt Judon had enough during his press conference on Thursday after the reporters had the name Tom Brady at the tip of their tongue. And it tested the patience of the young player, who although respects Brady but he doesn’t feel the same connection with him as everyone else.

“Bro, he’s the next quarterback we got to play,” Matt replied after being annoyed for being asked about Brady the sixth time. “They also got two other quarterbacks on the roster. I know he was in this building for a long time, and what he’s done can never be taken away from the game of football, and what he did. But it’s not like we’re afraid of what Tom Brady can do. We have to stop their whole offense.”

Judon further added, “We have to stop Rojo [Ronald Jones], we got to stop Leonard Fournette, we got to stop Mike Evans, we got to stop Gronk, O.J. [Howard], [Cameron] Brate, whoever they have at tight end. We have to defeat all the blockers up front and then we also have to play complementary football on offense and special teams.”

Matt Judon made it clear to the reporters that the main subject of the interview isn’t Tom Brady, but it’s about him and the Patriots as he said, “So Tom Brady is a great quarterback and nobody can take away what he did. But we’re not here to talk about that right now. We have to play a game and we have to stop him from winning a football game.“
