After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl this past Sunday, quarterback Tom Brady made sure to enjoy himself at the victory parade Wednesday. The seven-time Super Bowl champion went viral for his actions at the parade, as he tossed the Vince Lombardi Trophy at his tight ends' boat, where Cameron Brate and Rob Gronkowski were having fun of their own.
It was Brate who ended up catching the trophy, and he had a memorable reaction to his “reception.”
Via Mike Rosenstein of NJ.com:
“That was the best catch of my life,” Brate said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “Unbelievable. That was THE best catch of my life. If I had dropped that? I think I would’ve had to retire. That was amazing. He pointed it at me. We talked about it earlier. It was a great throw. I mean, what do you expect from Tom Brady. A great throw.”
For the record, Brate had 26 receiving yards on three catches in Super Bowl 55 for the Buccaneers, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9.
Were people really surprised that it was a good throw by the Buccaneers star? Brady completed 21 out of his 29 attempts in Super Bowl 55, throwing for 201 yards and three touchdowns, two of which were caught by Gronkowski, to secure his seventh Super Bowl ring.
Tom Brady would later inspire another video to go viral when he was seen being so drunk that he couldn't walk on his own. He tweeted, “Noting to see here…just liTle avoCado tequila,” afterward.
It's safe to say that one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game was living life this past Wednesday, as the man with the most Super Bowl rings in the history of the NFL just wanted to have some fun.
