New England Patriots quarterback is 41 years old but he still claims that he is 100 percent heading into the huge showdown on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While speaking with Jim Gray on Westwood One Brady was asked how he is feeling and he said his body is “100 percent” which is interesting because he has dealt with a series of minor injuries this season.

“So much of playing a physical, contact sport is dealing with the contact, and some people deal with it better than others,” Brady told Gray. “I have had a long history of learning what to do and what not to do. I think I know how to deal with it better than most. I work a lot with Alex [Guerrero], who I have talked extensively about. I have a really great disciplined routine that allows me to continue to take the hits and absorb the forces.

“My body feels great. I am in the 14th week of the year and I would say I feel 100 percent. I go out to practice. I practice as hard as I can. I feel great. I am ready for the next day. I don’t feel any different from day-to-day. It’s really encouraging. I know what I do works. It's just such a great advantage for me as I move into the later parts of the season when I know other guys aren’t feeling as great as I am.”

Brady has been dealing with a minor knee injury that has forced him to wear a brace but he has been absent from the injury report the last few weeks. It is hard to believe though that Brady is truly 100 percent. This late in the season most players are dealing with at least some kind of injuries and are dealing with some nicks and bruises that are bothering them.
