Tom Brady talks about staying motivated, feeling rusty, and replacing Nate Solder

For Tom Brady, it’s all about the competition. The Patriots quarterback talked about what really motivates him on an interview with WEEI Tuesday morning.

“I really enjoy the competition,’’ said Brady, who called in as part of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon. “I’ve always thought the approach was being my very best. My motivation comes from not letting my teammates down. I know how much people put into it — our coaches, teammates — to have a successful season. We work year-round for it. I don’t want to be the reason for why we aren’t successful.
