Tom Brady Suffered a Significant Injury While Playing for Buccaneers

Former Buccaneers' QB Tom Brady revealed an injury he suffered against the Bills in 2021 and also gave advice to Bills' QB Josh Allen on his Let's Go! Podcast.

Both Tom Brady and Josh Allen know a thing or two about playing the quarterback position, but one area that Allen may have an upper advantage over Brady is what he can do outside the pocket with his legs. Brady was never known as a runner and only did so when it was absolutely necessary, while Allen, on the other hand, has become one of those dual-threat QBs that can cause issues for opposing defenses.

Allen was able to join Tom Brady on his most recent episode of his Let's Go! Podcast where the two were able to discuss a number of topics including the ability to run as a quarterback.

Allen ultimately agreed with Brady, but both understand that they will do whatever it takes to win the game.

During the conversation, Brady brought up an instance in which he separated his shoulder on a goal line situation on a QB sneak against Allen's Bills team back in 2020 - a game that was an instant classic that saw Brady and the Buccaneers go onto win 33-27 in OT.

Allen grew up idolizing Brady and by the way he plays with such passion and love for the game it is evident that he took many nuances from Brady's on the field character.

The two have since formed a blooming relationship, even competing against one another in Capital One's The Match - where Brady and Aaron Rodgers bested Allen and Patrick Mahomes, and that should only continue to grow as Allen looks to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl.
