In Episode 6, which aired Tuesday on ESPN+ and covered the Patriots' 2014 Super Bowl season, Brady referenced one of his favorite wide receivers: Julian Edelman.

“Julian’s dad was pretty tough on him," Brady said in the episode. "Like, Julian will tell a great story about charging the mound when his dad was throwing him batting practice. That’s what you need to know about Jules."
“That’s what he does. He does not like being told that he’s arrived, he’s great, he’s got a role secured. Julian always likes operating from a place that he’s going to get cut tomorrow.”
Edelman responded to the clip of Brady talking about him with an on-brand tweet.
"What’s the saying? Comfort is the enemy of progress. Can’t get complacent. Period," Edelman wrote.
