This epic Tom Brady beer-chugging story is a must-listen

New England Patriots legend Tom Brady might be known as the greatest quarterback of all time, but he also might be one of the greatest beer-chuggers as well.

Yes, the unassuming seven-time Super Bowl champion, who is now notorious for the TB12 diet and avocado ice cream, can throw back a beer like you wouldn’t believe.

When appearing on Julian Edelman’s “Games with Names” podcast, former Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light shared a story of Brady being challenged by three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Larry Izzo to a beer-chugging contest.

Light assumed Izzo was going to destroy Brady, but once the pitchers turned upside down, the end result was shocking.

“I remember Izzo challenged Brady, and I’m thinking, ‘Dude, Izzo is going to smoke this cat,” said Light. “It was back when they had the pitchers. I remember Tommy put that thing back, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ This kid’s a gamer. Gamer, bring it on.”

Brady has shown off his hidden beer-chugging talent before, during a past visit to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

One would think people would have learned by now to never judge a book by its cover, especially when it comes to Brady, who was selected with the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL draft.

No competition is safe from a guy like that.
