One of the NFL's star wide receivers couldn't resist hypothesizing what it would be like to play with the greatest quarterback in history.

Despite having unretired once already, former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady appears to have finally settled into a comfort zone within his post playing career. 

Brady is clearly enjoying the freedom and comforts that retirement from the NFL has to offer, while getting ready to begin his career as a broadcaster for FOX. Meanwhile, the whispers of the greatest quarterback of all time considering another return to the NFL appear to have finally subsided.

But that doesn’t mean hypothetical scenarios can’t be kicked around for fun.

That's exactly what happened when Raiders’ superstar receiver, Davante Adams, sat down with former NFL great turned talking head, Shannon Sharpe, as a guest on his podcast, Club Shay Shay. 

The two engaged in a hilarious exchange when Sharpe began to formulate a question regarding Tom Brady. Sharpe wasn't even to begin the question of whether or not Adams would want to play with Brady before Adams answered it.

"Hell yes," Adams told Sharpe. "When you said Tom Brady I knew what you were going to say, and then you’re talking about how old he is, I don’t care.”

Sharpe asked Adams if he would take Brady as his quarterback at 47 or 48 years old, and Adams even doubled down.

“58… Listen, Tom knows how I feel about him, man," Adams said. "The other part is, I think I’d be the first person that played with Tom and Aaron, so that would be pretty cool. I mean, he’s getting older but he’s still gotta be able to throw it better than half these dudes in the league.”

Davante Adams hasn't exactly had a great run of quarterbacks since moving on from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers just a couple seasons ago. But even if he had, he can't be faulted for dreaming about the possibility of catching passes from the greatest quarterback of all time.
