Michigan blood or not, you have to respect what Tom Brady has done in the NFL and how he handles himself off of it. Former Ohio State and current Washington defensive end Chase Young has taken the league by storm (as we knew he would), and was caught on camera being vocal about wanting Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a first-round playoff matchup. The Tampa Bay quarterback took note of it but didn’t make too much of the whole thing — after all, it’s not his first rodeo.
Anyway, be careful what you ask for. Young got his wish and Brady torched the Washington defense for 381 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-23 Bucs victory to send Young and his teammates home for the year.
Afterward, the two were captured meeting at midfield where they exchanged pleasantries as combatants do after a hard-fought game. Young wasn’t brash and asked for Brady’s jersey off his back to which Brady responded, “I’ll send it to you.”

Well, we’re here to report that Brady made good on his word. According to a Tweet from B/R Gridiron, Young received the signed jersey with “Chase, Best of luck,” and of course a “Go Blue” to cap it all off.

Michigan may have gotten the best of this matchup with Ohio State, but it’s worth mentioning that the clock is still ticking on the Wolverines getting anywhere near the Buckeyes in a real, live college game.
