7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is playing his 23rd season in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through the years, he has achieved plenty of milestones. Last year, Brady became the first player in NFL history to reach 600 touchdown passes.

Brady’s teammate Mike Evans was the lucky player to catch his 600th TD pass. However, the wide receiver gave the ball away to a lucky fan. This Sunday against the Rams, Brady has another milestone on his sight, as the quarterback joked about Evans making the same mistake again.

Tom Brady jokes about Mike Evans as he approaches an incredible milestone

In a recent press conference, a reporter asked Brady about achieving 100,000 passing yards, which will be a truly incredible achievement for the 45-year-old quarterback. In reply, Brady gave credit to his teammates over the years, who helped him achieve plenty of accolades on the way.

Then, one reporter joked about Evans giving away the ball once again. Brady jokingly said, ” (laughs) Put out an APB or something like that for all the offensive guys.”

Later, Brady revealed that he was planning on keeping the jersey. “I’ll probably keep my jersey… I’ve been keeping more of those lately, but whatever happens, happens; that’s just football,” he added.

It is worth noting that Brady has a very good chance of reaching 100,000 passing yards in the week 9 game against the Rams, as he is just 164 yards away from that milestone. Despite having a poor season, QB hasn’t thrown below 190 yards. So, everyone expects Brady to achieve this feat in the next game.
