Tom Brady Signed an Interception Ball for the First and Last Time

Jets rookie Brandin Echols got the souvenir of a lifetime in Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

In the final minute of the first half, Echols picked off a pass from Tom Brady after a miscommunication with receiver Mike Evans. The interception and ensuing 30-yard return allowed New York to kick a last-second field goal and extend its halftime lead to 17–10.

After the game (which the Bucs won on Brady’s 33-yard touchdown strike to Cyril Grayson with 15 seconds left), Echols chased down Brady in the handshake scrum. He handed the legend a marker and the interception ball and asked Brady to sign it for him.
