Speaking to USA TODAY’s Mackenzie Salmon, Bledsoe, who preceded Brady as the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback, offered some praise — and a playful dig — for his longtime friend and former teammate.
‘I know he’ll do a great job at it because he’ll put in the work, he’ll put the time in,’ said Bledsoe.
With a smile, Bledeoe added, “I will be annoyed by his squeaky voice, but I know he’ll be great at it.’
This remark is not the first time Bledsoe has taken a friendly jab at Brady. He featured on Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” show in May and then jokingly called Brady the “worst backup quarterback in the history of the NFL” during Brady’s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame in June.
