That's a classic Tom Brady response and one that Buccaneers' reporters are probably quite familiar with, even after just a season-and-a-half of covering the legend.
Brady took the time to acknowledge how much of an honor the award is but also mentioned how it makes him ‘uneasy' to achieve such an individual honor in a team sport. If anyone is wondering why Brady is as great as he is, look no further than this answer.
If the Buccaneers star wanted to be cocky and say how good he is, he could definitely take the time to do it after winning such an award. But that's not how Tom Brady rolls. He's always looking for that next goal or that next achievement, even right after achieving one.
It probably makes Brady's Buccaneers teammates feel good to hear him say that. Brady arriving in Tampa Bay last season officially put them on Super Bowl watch, but they still needed a true team effort to get the job done.
That's why Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady got ‘uneasy' when he was praised for his individual effort.
