“I think he's significantly advanced, I'm sure just like Brady is.”
Jim Tressel
“I think we were telling a joke, Brady and the president and I, walking out.”
Michael Deaver
“I think the coach (John Brady) there knows how to build a team, and they were looking for role players. They wanted a big shooting guard and one who knew basketball. They knew he could shoot the ball, and he's big. He was at the right place at the right time.”
David Lopez
“You never see Brady panic. I think that goes for the team as well. When the team sees your quarterback relaxed, no matter what the situation, it gives them a sense of comfort. That is what he brings to the table. He is very knowledgeable. If you watch him on film, he doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Tom is definitely the best in the league right now.”
Al Wilson
“It was a big relief, because, again, Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL. I think he's better than Peyton Manning. He finds a way to do some things -- he stands there and takes hits unlike any quarterback I've ever seen. He was standing there and I'm running dead at him and he sees me out of the corner of his eye, and he does not care; he would take that shot.”
Trevor Pryce
“You can never tell with Brady if he's rattled or not. But I think the pressure made a difference.”
Ben Leber
“Tom Brady ran just I think a 5.2 40 at the combine, and just kind of spit the ball around a little bit. All of a sudden, he's what we're looking for.”
Sean Payton
