The Buccaneers’ quarterback gets the nod of approval to keep playing football from Joe Montana.

Long before Tom Brady was considered the greatest quarterback of all time, there was another player that held that title – Joe Montana, who just so happens to have been Brady’s childhood idol. A well-known factoid is that Brady attended “The Catch” game when Montana found Dwight Clark in the back of the end-zone to beat the Dallas Cowboys in the 1981 NFC Championship game.
