Tom Brady reveals that Ray Lewis was the player he feared the most in the NFL

BALTIMORE.- Tom Brady, considered the best player in NFL history, revealed that linebacker Ray Lewis, a Hall of Famer and two-time champion with the Baltimore Ravens, was the defensive player he feared most to be hit by.

“Definitely Ray Lewis is at the top of those I was looking to avoid getting hit by, also there was Ndamukong Suh, although it wasn’t very fun to get hit by JJ Watt or Haloti Ngata either, who was impressive, weighed about 154 kilos and was huge,” said the former Patriots quarterback on the podcast of Logan Paul, American youtuber and boxer.

Brady, winner of seven Super Bowls, the most in NFL history, placed Lewis, holder of two championship rings, at the top of the defensive players he feared, due to the strength and size that the legendary Ravens linebacker boasted.

“There are many guys, but Ray is definitely the one,” reiterated the 15-time Pro Bowl and five-time Super Bowl MVP.

Ray Lewis and Haloti Ngata formed a fearsome duo for opposing quarterbacks in Baltimore. Ngata, a champion with the team in Super Bowl XLVII, was a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro and is part of the Ravens’ Ring of Honor, which Lewis is also a part of.

Throughout his 23-year career, Brady was sacked 565 times in 335 games.

According to the now sports commentator, defensive players like Ndamukong Suh, JJ Watt, and Haloti Ngata pushed him to the limit of his ability to try to find a receiver as soon as possible to avoid being hit.

“When you get hit, there is a physical discipline you must have as a backup because if your movements are not correct, you will get hurt,” he explained.

Among these defensive players, the former passer did not mention Bernard Pollard, an aggressive safety who, in the inaugural game of the 2008 season, when he played for the Kansas City Chiefs, injured Brady with a low hit that ended the quarterback’s year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

The former Pats and Buccaneers quarterback did not forget Aaron Donald, the historic Rams defensive tackle, whom he remembered as a nightmare.
