Leonard Fournette responds to Tom Brady like a son to a father

When a soccer player continues to play soccer past the age of 40, he will eventually play with men young enough to be his sons. And so they will begin to rely on him the same way a son relies on a father.

“It’s so funny because, you know, he’s 43, you know what I mean?” Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette recently told SiriusXM NFL Radio, via JoeBucsFan.com, about quarterback Tom Brady. “It’s like your father is calling you to come and do something.” He always calls me and the running backs [after practice], ‘Hey Lenny, Shady [McCoy], Ro [Jones], come and find roads. And that’s what we’re doing, and it’s paying off right now.

Brady’s leadership and work ethic has helped the Buccaneers get better, better and better as the cumulative effect of effort, desire and progress continues to show. Now, they have another 12 days to do the work necessary to prepare for Brady’s last date with fate, in the Super Bowl.

It won’t be easy for Brady because it never is. He’s 6-3 in the Super Bowls. He never won one during an eruption. But for a comeback of the ages against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI, the aging quarterback would be 5-4 in Super Bowls. And it will take whatever he and his teammates have to prevent Brady’s all-time mark slipping to 6-4, as the Chiefs are perhaps the toughest opponent Brady has ever faced in a game. championship.
