Tom Brady grew up idolizing Joe Montana. Now, he’s considered one of the greatest quarterbacks alongside him.
On Tuesday, the Patriots quarterback reacted to being listed on the NFL Top 100 All-Time Team next to the former 49ers and Chiefs quarterback. In an Instagram post, Brady reflected on his childhood, watching Montana compete, and how they’re both inspiring a new generation of quarterbacks.
“When I was 4 years old, I watched Joe play at Candlestick Park on Jan. 10, 1982, and saw ‘The Catch,’ one of the greatest plays in football history,” Brady wrote in his caption.
