New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been called a lot of things throughout his career and more and more the past few years he has been called the GOAT (greatest of all time.) For a lot of players that would be quite the honor, but for Brady, he doesn't really like it and admits it makes him a bit uncomfortable because that's not how he sees himself.

“I don’t really like it, truthfully. I am (uncomfortable) because I don’t see myself in that way,” Brady told Patriots radio broadcaster Scott Zolak on “Patriots All-Access.” “I play for the enjoyment of the game. I play for the cameraderie with my teammates and I play to win. I don’t play to be called a certain thing or compared to this guy. I had heroes when I grew up; there’s a lot of great quarterbacks when I grew up and now. The fact that I’m still playing, I love being that. I don’t need people to tell me that ‘Man, you’re such and such’ or ‘You’re better than this,’ like, there’s a lot of great players, and that’s how I see a lot of other players.”

Brady said a big reason he doesn't seem him as the GOAT is because he can do some things other's can't do, but other's can do things that he can't do. He also gives a lot of credit to the organization, coaches, and teammates for helping to mold him into the player he is today.

Even if he doesn't want to be called the GOAT there is no question when he retires he will go down as one of the greatest players ever to play quarterback.
