It has only been a few days into the start of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers full-roster training camps. However, the team's new quarterback in Tom Brady has already made his presence felt all around the team. His Bucs teammates also alluded to the 14-time Pro Bowler's infectious personality.
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans shared his sentiments towards the impact of Brady to ESPN NFL Nation Bucs reporter Jenna Laine via Twitter:
Mike Evans said Tom Brady is “already up there as of my favorite teammates even though we’ve only had a few practices together.” I asked him what it’s like having that kind of relationship with a “living legend.” He said, “He’s trying to turn me into a living legend as well.”

Upon entering the 2019 NFL Playoffs, many people already sounded off on Brady potentially leaving the New England Patriots in the offseason. Indeed, he went on to play his last game at Gillette Stadium on a 20-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the first round proceedings.
A longstanding dynasty abruptly ended when Brady decided to move on to greener pastures after his 20-year tenure with the New England Patriots. His unexpected arrival in Florida eventually became one of the biggest storylines heading into the upcoming season.
Brady hopes to re-open another chapter in his storied career as he approaches the latter stages of his playing career. With the three-time NFL MVP now at the helm, the Buccaneers instantly morphed from a mediocre team to a Super Bowl contender.
However, divisional supremacy won't be handed easily to the Bucs as the reigning NFC South champions are still standing in its way. The New Orleans Saints have dominated the group and positioned themselves on top of the competition in recent years. They will continue to do so even with Brady's presence in the division.
A statement will be disputed as the two heavyweight teams collide on September 13 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
