Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap.
Antonio Cromartie, an ex-Jets cornerback who once labeled Patriots quarterback Tom Brady an “a–hole” before New York faced New England in a playoff game in January 2011, acknowledged Monday on FS1’s “Undisputed” that his former enemy definitely is the greatest quarterback of all time.
“I played against Brett Favre. I played against Peyton Manning. Tom tops it all,” Cromartie said of Brady during a discussion also featuring Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe.
Cromartie, now a free agent, downplayed his past criticism of Brady in October 2015, saying “I’ve grown as a player and as a person” since ripping the Patriots QB back in 2011. It’s now evident he has nothing but respect for Brady, who set a record Sunday with his 201st career win as an NFL quarterback.
