Matt Cassel recalls a time he wrestled Tom Brady and was almost beaten up by top Patriots defensive players
Reminiscing about the old days with the Patriots will never get old, right? Especially since they are entering a new era and their future has far more question marks than certainties. And, of course, it's pretty cool to hear more never-before-told stories about guys like Tom Brady during some of the best years of the New England dynasty.
That's why a guy like Matt Cassel moving into sports media is all the more intriguing.
He recently shared an unexpected yet hilarious story from the four years he spent with the Patriots, revealing he once wrestled with Brady and almost got taken out by defensive players due to their concern over their quarterback getting injured.
The time Matt Cassel wrestled Tom Brady. Rodney Harrison and Richard Seymour broke it up to protect the franchise QB and Cassel thought they were going to beat *his* ass. Very few better storytellers than @M_Cassel16. This Is Football is so good today. pic.twitter.com/JagfTaiRSf
