“My helmet went around 10 yards back”: Tom Brady on the Nate Clements hit
Without a doubt, Tom is one of the most successful quarterbacks in the history of the game. After all, not a lot of QBs have won as many as seven Super Bowl titles. While Tom has surely bamboozled his opponents on numerous occasions in his illustrious career, there were times when even the GOAT found himself in troubled waters.
Way back in December, 2001, the Patriots versus Bills contest was turning out to be quite a spectacle. In the third quarter, the Patriots were leading 6-3. Tom took a few steps back and then started running, however, Nate Clements was in no mood to allow Tom to reach the line of scrimmage.
He crashed into Brady sending his helmet flying back. Although Brady acted like everything was absolutely fine, it was evident that the hit was quite severe and scary. A little while ago when he was promoting “the Match,” Tom spoke about the same incident referring to it as the worst hit he ever took in his career.
“I slid late and my helmet went around 10 yards back,” Tom had claimed. Well, since then, the man has won more Super Bowl titles than any franchise which is enough to tell you how he recovered and what he ended up giving to the great game.
