“The Bucs brass told Brady they were looking at signing Jaguars castoff Leonard Fournette, and Brady asked if he could help recruit Fournette. Brady reaching out and did, indeed, make an impact on Fournette, who signed with the team just before the season opener,” said Breer.
It must be remembered that Brady made a push for the signings of former Patriots teammates Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown as well. Both of whom ended up scoring touchdowns in Super Bowl LV.

And this season, Brady honed his recruiting skills once again to help in the signing of former Bengals running back Gio Bernard.
“A similar case to Fournette’s played out this offseason, when Licht called Brady to tell him the team was pursuing ex-Bengals third-down back Gio Bernard. Brady wound up reaching out to Bernard via direct message on Instagram, and the Florida native Bernard signed with the champs in mid-April.”
