Tom Brady is a hard man to imitate.
There are all sorts of issues with emulating his game: his pinpoint accuracy, his speedy and on-point decision-making, and his general command for an opponent’s game plan. But there’s one more thing: his speed. He’s slower than most quarterbacks, which can make life difficult for the opposing scout-team quarterback who is pretending to be Brady and is also likely faster than the 42-year-old.
When Robert Griffin III was tasked with preparing the Baltimore Ravens for Brady before Week 9, RG3 resorted to running in slow motion in order to properly simulate Brady’s speed. Ouch.
Here’s what RG3 told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo in the video below.
The #Ravens are prepping for the #Texans and Deshaun Watson with RG3 giving them a great look on the scout team. But with all the mobile QBs he’s emulated this year, the best look he gave them was … Tom Brady. pic.twitter.com/tVTREowEA8
