Back in 2008, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell was an NFL rookie and a New England Patriots teammate of Tom Brady.
Now, he’s a coach in the league poking fun at his old pal Brady while talking with NFL Network during the combine.
While appearing with Daniel Jeremiah and Rich Eisen during Saturday’s broadcast of the NFL combine, O’Connell joked about the legitimacy of Brady’s recent 40-yard dash run being quicker than it was when the future Hall of Famer was doing his own combine testing back in 2000.
O’Connell clearly is kidding about the video being fake, but it is a very hilarious way for him to mess with his old Patriots teammate.

Brady being able to run a faster 40-yard all these years later is genuinely impressive, but it’s also the perfect thing for his longtime friends to roast him over. Wouldn’t you if your pal was the greatest quarterback of all time?
