New Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Tom Brady has a reputation for helping young football players by going through drills and showing them the ropes.
On June 13th, Brady put Shedeur Sanders, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, through a workout at Berkeley Preparatory School, per a report from ESPN’s Jenna Laine:
“Shedeur tweeted about the experience, and Brady posted about it in his Instagram stories, saying, “When you’re green, you grow…when you’re ripe, you rot.”
Deion Sanders also posted on his Instagram, “They’re things In Life even the father can’t teach the son but GOD always provides a way if there’s a will. @tombrady I thank u, appreciate & love the man,The father and the athlete u are. This is NEXT LEVEL TYPE OF STUFF. #Truth PROVERBS 22:6 #GOATTALK”
Brady has been known to take time to work out with and spend time with his friends’ and teammates’ sons. Former Michigan teammate David Terrell recalled Brady working out with his then-8-year-old son, David Terrell Jr., who is now a junior wide receiver at Howard.
“I could literally call Tom and tell him, ‘I’m in Miami,’ and he’ll be like, ‘OK, Dave, I’m here right now,'” Terrell said. “That’s the type of guy he is.”
