Tom Brady talks Fanatics Flag Football Classic
What they're saying:
Tom Brady sat down for a recent interview with FOX to discuss the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic. "Everybody wanted to play. And I think everyone wants to kind of see where they're at in terms of this game. It's been kind of a focus of the Pro Bowl games over the years, but this game is gonna be a lot different. It's gonna be way more competitive."
"Guys really kind of want to feel it out because I think a lot of these guys that are playing in this game want to go for the gold in a couple years," Brady continued. "So to test their skillset, to see where they are at, to understand the differences in the competitive game of football that so many of the pros have played, but now, okay, you're going to a different, a little bit of a different sport, a little different format. But we're gonna see who really matches up."
