Tom Brady defended Mike Evans and says his suspension isn’t deserved
Marshon Lattimore and Leonard Fournette both were involved in a tussle when receiver Mike Evans decided to intervene. Evans pushed aside Marshon Lattimore and put him on the ground.
Tom Brady in a statement has said that the suspension for Mike Evans was a bit harsh and that sometimes emotions can get the better of you. He said that it means everything to him that Evans came out to defend him.
“I think just sometimes the emotions get the best of us, and I love Mike. And the fact that Mike would come out there to defend me means everything in the world to me as a teammate and a friend,” Brady said.
“And Mike knows how I feel about him. So in the end, emotions are a part of sports. Sometimes they boil over, and they obviously did (Sunday), and it’s an unfortunate circumstance. I don’t think it deserved any type of suspension; I think that’s ridiculous. Hopefully we can move past it and get to a better place.”
