Tom Brady is inarguably one of the best quarterbacks on the planet. He has gone head to head against some of the toughest athletes in the NFL and holds numerous records under his name.
However, the 6’4 and 225 pounds legendary quarterback was nothing against a sumo wrestler in Japan. Apparently, the NFL was on a promotional tour in Asia for Under Armour in 2017.
It was then that Brady and his son spent some time with the sumo wrestlers. The former Patriots quarterback was initially awestruck as he watched the sumo wrestlers engage in combat.
Later, the NFL legend took off his shirt and squared off against a sumo wrestler. An average sumo wrestler weighs around 325 pounds, which is 100 pounds more than Brady.
His NFL experience was therefore useless in combating the sumo wrestler. In the ring, Brady did not even move the wrestler. Jake Shields, a former middleweight champion of Strikeforce, later shared the video on Twitter with the caption, “Watch The NFL’s Tom Brady Get Absolutely Destroyed By Sumo Wrestlers.”
