Tom Brady’s speed, or lack thereof, has long since been acknowledged across the NFL, even as he’s been widely labelled the “Greatest of All Time” or “GOAT.”
In an interview with NFL Network, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins referenced a different animal to describe Brady’s running style: a baby giraffe.
“Sometimes running around, he may look like a baby giraffe, but he finds a way in the pocket to keep his eyes down field when there is chaos around him and deliver throws time and time again, especially in big moments,” Cousins explained in a video on Brady topping the network’s best 100 players list.
