Joe Mixon met Tom Brady on Sunday following the Patriots' 34-13 win over the Bengals. But in the midst of meeting one of the NFL's all-time greats, the 23-year-old running back got cold feet and failed to ask for the six-time Super Bowl champ's jersey.
Brady said he saw the tweet from Mixon on Sunday night and was flattered.
"I'm going to send him one, because I saw that last night. It was pretty cool," the 42-year-old QB said Monday morning in his weekly interview on sports radio WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show."
"He was like, 'Great player, hell of a runner,'" Mixon told reporters of his experience meeting Brady.
