Chris Godwin shared an awesome DM he got from Tom Brady after the QB signed with the Bucs
Brady #Brady
Peter King is on vacation until late July so he’s having guests fill in for him and write the his weekly Football Morning in America column.
This week’s guest writer is Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin and the 25-year-old Super Bowl champ wrote a really great column that you should spend a few minutes checking out today.
One of my favorite parts was when he wrote about the day last March that he found out the Bucs had signed Tom Brady. Godwin thought Brady was going to end up with the Chargers but then he heard the GOAT picked the Bucs so Godwin got out his phone to see if it was true.
When he picked up his phone, however, he got a pretty cool surprise. I’ll let him tell the story:
Then I saw we’re agreeing to terms with Tom. I got a notification on my phone. Still I didn’t believe it. I went on Instagram to see if there was any other news on it. I saw a direct message notification. It said it was from “Tom Brady.”
I was like, no, no, no, no, nah, nah. This can’t be the real Tom.
It was the real Tom.
Let me pull it up on my phone. March 17. He said he was excited to play with me, he’s watched me a lot over the years. He even threw a college joke in there: “I won’t hold it against you that you’re a Penn State guy.”
Then he said congrats on your engagement.
I had just gotten engaged. And the greatest player of all time is DM-ing me wishing me good luck with my engagement and saying he’s excited to play with me! That was just shocking to me. I get drafted by Tampa, never thinking I’d ever have a chance to play with Tom Brady, and now, in the prime of my career, he’s gonna be my quarterback.
That’s pretty great.
Godwin ended up giving up his No. 12 jersey to Brady and the two made a number of big plays together during their Super Bowl run.
Soon they’ll be back together on the field trying to run things back with a stacked Bucs team.
