Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott admitted that it was more nerve wracking to face Peyton Manning as a quarterback than Tom Brady.
Scott made the surprising statement on his ESPN Radio show with Alan Hahn titled Bart & Hahn.
“I’d much rather go against Tom Brady every day of the week than go against Peyton Manning,” Scott said. “I believe that’s how everybody feels. In the hay day, never ever have I said ‘We’re playing the Patriots. I’m so afraid of Tom Brady.’”
As a player, Scott faced both Manning and Brady in the playoffs.
