Tom Brady might not be the most talented or gifted player in NFL history but, until proven otherwise, he’ll continue to be considered the greatest ever.
That’s not just because of his durability and all the records he broke but also because of his dominance, work ethic, and how he was able to help literally dozens of players from two different generations reach the mountaintop.
Brady constantly took less money than he could’ve and should’ve taken just so the New England Patriots could have more cap space and build a better team around him, and it paid off by leading them to six Super Bowl wins before getting another ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him calling out young athletes for only caring about themselves and their brands and not about the team or their teammates (via Deep Cut Podcast & Ari Meirov).

Needless to say, it didn’t take long before this clip went viral, and multiple football fans shared their thoughts on it on Twitter.
That’s the most valuable aspect of coaching, making guys remember it’s about the team and instilling the right culture

Brady is the prime example that you can find success by thinking about your team and still making a lot of money.
Of course, you can’t blame anybody for trying to maximize their value while they still can, but sometimes, players do that at the team’s expense.
If you’re only there for the money, so be it; there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But if you’re also chasing greatness, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to leave a little something on the table so someone else can also eat.
