Tom Brady on deep-ball passing: Haven't hit the driver as well as wedge

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was being given a compliment by a reporter Wednesday afternoon, but he didn't think it was warranted.

The topic was deep throws, and it was noted to Brady that his statistics and accuracy have improved in that area in 2015.

"Really? That's surprising to me," Brady said, before making a connection to golf.

"The mechanics, I've really tried to work on that. A lot of them are pretty much the same, whether it's a 5-yard pass or a 50-yard pass; the mechanics of the throw are very similar -- like hitting a wedge or a driver, it's the same swing.
