Tom Brady apparently really wanted Mohamed Sanu in a Patriots uniform.
New England acquired the wide receiver in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 22. Brady, who revealed he’s “always been impressed” with Sanu’s “abilities” and “attitude,” already has developed a connection with his target this week at practice.
Now we’re learning a bit more about the trade, which Brady reportedly “really pushed for.”
“But Mohamed Sanu, the acquisition of him last week, I am told by several sources that Brady really pushed for that one,” ESPN’s Mike Garafolo said Sunday on “NFL GameDay”. “So the Patriots willing to give up a second-round pick to get Sanu in, a guy that Brady was eager to have inside the building and knows will be integral in the offense. He was a big factor there.”
Fans won’t have to wait long to see how Brady and Sanu play together. The Patriots take on the Cleveland Browns at Gillette Stadium on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
