Tom Brady's Instagram Post After Being Named Alongside Joe Montana on NFL's All-Time Team is Perfect

It goes without saying that Tom Brady is one of the best to ever do it. He was the second quarterback named to the NFL All-Time Team alongside his childhood hero Joe Montana, and he took the time to acknowledge this honor on Instagram.

The New England Patriots signal caller mentions that he was in the stands to see "The Catch" when he was just four years old.

When I was 4 years old I watched Joe play at Candlestick Park on Jan. 10, 1982 and saw “The Catch”, one of the greatest plays in football history. It feels surreal today to be on this list alongside my idol. I’m very honored and humbled. I’m sure there’s a kid out there somewhere who’s looking at this list, watching tape of me and Joe and making plans to knock both of us down a spot. That’s why football is the best.

This is a perfect response from Brady. While he is undoubtedly one of the greatest competitors of all time, he knows that records are meant to be broken. TB12 grew up a fan of Montana who was the GOAT of his generation, and that inspired him to do the same once he got into the league.

"All of that was a great experience for me. ... Spending time with Tom on the set was awesome."
