Tom Brady stands as an NFL titan with an unmatched track record. His Super Bowl triumphs eclipse those of entire franchises, a feat that defied expectations. Debuting with the Patriots in 2000, Brady’s ascent has been relentless. Remarkably, his hunger for success remains undiminished even at 46. TB12 recently acquired minority stakes and ownership positions in various sports divisions, such as Brihimgham City FC and electric boat racing.
However, the extent of Brady’s strategic prowess and tremendous abilities isn’t just reflected in his statistics; it’s also echoed by fellow players who attest to his greatness. Similarly, a former rival of Tom Brady recalls the most significant secret of the 7-time Super Bowl champion, which elevated TB12 to the status of the greatest of all time.

During a recent appearance on the ‘Dan Patrick Show,’ which aired just hours ago, former Steelers safety Ryan Clark voiced his belief that “Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in football history.” Reflecting on his experiences, the 43-year-old elaborated, “Tom Brady was able to beat us with his mind, understand where we would be, it was because they had filmed our practices, and they knew our signals.”
Clark further disclosed that when his team faced Brady’s Patriots, they managed to dominate the receivers and tight ends, and impose their will, “but it was the first time we didn’t try to beat Tom Brady here [gesturing his head].” Clark explained that his team Steelers directed their efforts towards overcoming everyone, including Rob Gronkowski, yet they couldn’t overcome the enigma that is “12” – a reference to Brady’s jersey number.
Apart from this recent interview, intriguingly, Ryan Clark had expressed a contrasting view about Brady several months ago, stating that he no longer regarded him as the greatest.

During a previous season, Tom Brady’s Buccaneers played 8 games and lost 5. Despite starting well with consecutive wins against the Cowboys and Saints, their performance declined. Brady’s stats were among his worst, and his frustrations led to a league memo about tablet penalties.
NFL analyst Ryan Clark once remarked that Brady left the Patriots to join a Super Bowl-contending team, finding the Buccaneers falling short as well. Clark stated Brady wasn’t elevating the team as expected, causing a stir by suggesting Brady wasn’t the best quarterback anymore.
