Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, the embodiment of the “it” factor, gave Patrick Mahomes the ultimate seal of approval Monday.
“There’s a lot of things that make him a great player,” Brady said. “Obviously his physical skill set, but I think he’s got the ability to focus when the moments are the biggest, to deliver for his team. That’s the mark of any great athlete, coming through in the clutch. And he’s off to a great start in his career doing that.”
Brady doesn’t throw respect around lightly — poor Nick Foles has beaten Brady twice and received nary a post-game handshake.
