Things might always be a little awkward between Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe. After all, Brady’s legendary New England Patriots career came at the expense of Bledsoe’s.
But there doesn’t appear to be any bitterness between the two quarterbacks. To that end, Brady on Wednesday used Instagram to wish Bledsoe a happy 52nd birthday.
“HBD Drew Bledsoe,” Brady wrote in the comments section of a Patriots Instagram post.
Brady, 46, and Bledsoe are separated by just six years in age. Yet, Bledose’s been out of the NFL for 17 years, whereas Brady’s been out of the game for just one year. That probably says more about Brady than it does Bledsoe, who was a very good NFL quarterback over 15 seasons.
