Tom Brady Shares Awesome Video Celebrating His 20th Season

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will enter his 20^th season with the New England Patriots, and this is his 18^th season as the opening-day starter at quarterback for the team. What’s better than celebrating his success with a video of him playing catch with himself?

Brady is really happy with his role in the organization.

“I think it’s a great privilege when a team trusts you to be the quarterback and they put the ball in your hands,” the quarterback said Wednesday. “It’s a great show of trust that they have in you, and I think you have to earn it every day. With that trust comes a lot of responsibility, and that’s a big responsibility I take with me.

“I love being available to the team,” he said. “That’s been something I feel like is a very important part of my job. I can’t help the team if I’m not out there, and I work pretty hard to make sure I am. So many great players have played this game, and to still be doing it is something I treasure.”

In his expansive news conference at Gillette Stadium, Brady opened several nostalgic topics.

“I was a young player once, too, and I had a lot of older players that I worked with,” he said. “I had some great mentors, people that really taught me how to play the position. It was great at a young age to have John Friesz and Drew (Bledsoe), and then to have Damon Huard, and Vinny (Testaverde) and to have Doug (Flutie). And then all of a sudden it flipped, and it went from Matt Cassel to Brian (Hoyer) to Jimmy (Garoppolo) . I played with so many great guys over the years.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the first on his list, and he knows they are tough.

“We’ve had a great rivalry against those guys and have played a lot of meaningful games,” Brady said. “We played at their stadium quite a bit the last few years, so it’s good to get them here.”

Sunday is a big day for the Patriots nation. Game on, Pats!
