Don’t question Tom Brady’s Madden rating unless you’re prepared to hear from the man himself.
The New England Patriots quarterback was given a 96 overall rating in Madden NFL 20, it was announced Monday. That raised the ire of one fan, whose argument against that rating was primarily based on Brady’s lack of speed. It even ended with the infamous fan boast that even he could outrun Brady if given the chance.
Tom Brady can’t run 2 yards how the hell is he a 96?

I 100% could run faster and further than Tom. So could 50% of high schoolers, 80% of college players, and 99% of pros. Learn how to unbiasedly access the totality of a player, then adjust these numbers and I could possibly take you seriously.

Brady picked that precise moment to weigh in himself, with a very simple retort.
I’m so much faster than you Matt.

Later, Brady posted a hilarious follow-up that he joked was definitely not photoshopped.

Matt took things in stride after Brady’s reply.
Well that escalated quickly

Perhaps the most amusing part? Brady recently clocked in with a faster 40 time than the one he posted at the NFL Combine 19 years ago. The man is a physical freak. Matt probably shouldn’t underestimate him.
