Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback coach Clyde Christensen is wonderful when it comes to stories, per JoeBacsFan.com. He has been coaching for decades and has experience being around Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Brady and Manning were rivals and are usually at the top of discussions when it comes to deciding who the NFL GOAT is. Christensen was asked what set these two apart from others who played the position in a segment on Colts.com.

The average guy gets tired at the end of eight weeks of working on the snap count or working on the center-quarterback exchange, much less eight years,” Christensen commented. “The thing I admire about them is how hard they work and they never get tired of doing the little mundane things the average people get tired of doing. They stay on their fundamentals. They make themselves study. In the summers, they’re going to take care of themselves, they’re going to put some time in. … They don’t need that three-week break.”
Truly, both Tom Brady had an untiring work ethic. He consistently strived for perfection and expect their teammates to do the same, and Manning wasn't much different, claimed Christensen.
“At year 21 for Tom Brady, if I showed you individual [practice video] of Super Bowl Thursday, you’d see a guy competing and working, and looking like a guy that there was one jersey left for the game and he was trying to earn it,” Christensen added. “You would not know it was Tom Brady. Peyton was the same way. Through all those years, it’s hard to do what they do week after week day after day.”
The longevity of both Brady and Manning was a thing to behold. Their high football IQ and quick release helped make this possible.
