The Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting set for battle in Northeast Ohio this weekend. As quarterback Jacoby Brissett gets set to take on his former teammate in Tom Brady this weekend, he recalls their time together early in his career with the New England Patriots.
He described himself as “that kid that was annoying as hell” as he looked to learn how to be a professional quarterback out of North Carolina State. Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal covered the story completely:
“I was that kid that was annoying as hell and kind of just, wherever he went I tried to follow, the places that I could go, and just trying to get as much information… And even during games just talking to him about stuff that he saw about certain things. Obviously not all the time cause the game’s a little different, but I was one of those guys that kind of tried to be a sponge.”
As for Brady telling him to back off or leave him alone?
“He probably did but I probably still said something to him…”
