New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady is set to enter his 19th season in the league coming off yet another impressive campaign that saw him capture his third MVP award.
Throughout this latter portion of his career, Brady has ramped up his dedication to the game by keeping his body and performance on the field at its peak. The 40-year-old has recently released a video of himself taking part in an offseason workout throwing passing with veteran wide receiver Julian Edelman.

Brady has developed a strong relationship with Edelman over the years as he has become of his receiving options on the field. The two have participated in many various workouts over the last few years. It has been a key part in the two developing a strong connection on the field.
What could be intriguing about this is that Edelman is currently facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. He is attempting to appeal the ruling by the NFL, but there is a realistic chance that the Patriots could be without one of their primary offensive weapons in the passing game for the first month of the season.
Edelman had been sidelined for the entire 2017 season due to torn ACL that he suffered in the preseason. In his last full season in the 2016 campaign, he had put together a productive year with 98 catches for 1,106 receiving yards along with three touchdowns. This marked the second time that he has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Brady is coming off another impressive year where he led the Patriots to the best record in the league at 13-3 behind his arm with an NFL-best 4,577 passing yards while being third with 32 passing touchdowns, a 102.8 passer rating, and fifth with a 66.3 completion percentage. There is plenty of motivation for him to showcase that ability to get back another Super Bowl to add to his already illustrious legacy.
