Tom Brady owns plenty of real estate in the NFL’s record books thanks to his impressive abilities as a passer, but he is also adept at another skill: the quarterback sneak. Brady, who isn’t known for using his legs otherwise, has been nearly unstoppable on sneaks during his career.
Another star quarterback has encroached on his territory in those short-yardage situations this year: Jalen Hurts of the Eagles. Unlike Brady, Hurts is a deadly runner, and at 223 pounds behind a strong Philadelphia offensive line, it is not a huge surprise that it’s hard to stop him when he sneaks the ball.
During a press conference Thursday, Brady was asked about Hurts’s success on sneaks. A video has gone viral of the legendary quarterback’s answer, and it certainly makes it seem like he was being very dismissive of the MVP candidate.
