In January, before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game, Tom Brady was asked about Saints quarterback Drew Brees — another aging quarterback enjoying an excellent season.
At the time, Brady seemed a little indignant at the idea that Brees was his contemporary. After all, Brady is more than a year older.
“He’s a lot younger than me — he’s 18 months younger than me,” Brady said. “Eighteen months ago I felt pretty good, so I’ve got a little advanced age on him and experience,” Brady told reporters via Zoom.
