His team’s opponent that day were the Los Angeles Rams Jarrett Stidham NFL Draft , so you would not necessarily expect him to get a particularly warm welcome when visiting Southern California these days. However, Brady is an icon whose appeal to fans extends far beyond New England — and yesterday’s appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live shows it.Brady was greeted with a standing ovation when entering the studio, before talking to the host about a wide variety of topics:On his offseason workouts at UCLA: “I feel like I always want to be ready to go. [...] If you ride that rollercoaster it’s tough. As an athlete, this is your profession; we all work hard, we want to stay on top of our game. I think that’s a year-long commitment.”On whether he tries to improve or maintain his level: “I think definitely try to improve. I feel like after all these years, there’s a certain feeling you get when you throw that perfect pass. I’m sure that’s like that in a lot of other careers, but when you’re really on and you’re nailing it, you just want to repeat it.”On throwing perfect passes: “Not that many Jarrett Stidham Buffalo Bills Jersey , surprisingly, I’d say like ten [out of 100 in-game]. You complete a lot because they’ve got arms and they can extend them and catch, but it’s tough to hit a stationary target that many times.”On his will to keep winning: “I think as a competitor, you get to line up and you get to go after it again. [Q: Do you want to keep winning every single time?] Dammit I want to win!”On not being the highest paid player in the NFL: “I think the thing I always felt for me in my life: winning has been a priority. And my wife makes a lot of money.”Brady also participated in a skit involving frequent guest of the show/Patriots fan Matt Damon: Denver’s defender spent time with the Patriots quarterback at the Kentucky Derby."Over the years, Denver Broncos standout defender Von Miller went from a rival of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to one of his most vocal admirers. Just take a look at this clip from NFL Network’s Top 100 Players of 2018, released last June: Miller calls Brady a great player before defending him against those who see it differently. “Anybody that hates on him is just a hater, because there is nothing you can hate about Tom Brady.”The admiration is mutual — Brady has also spoken highly about the MVP of Super Bowl 50 in the past — and not confined to the gridiron: the two players have recently spent time together at the Kentucky Derby, and it sounds as if Miller thoroughly enjoyed it. “It was cool Color Rush Byron Cowart Jersey , it was cool,” said the 30-year-old. “It’s extremely hard not to like Tom Brady and all of those guys. Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Lonie Paxton was there.”Miller’s visit to the Derby was more than just a trip with fellow NFL players past (Paxton) and present (Brady, Edelman, Amendola, among others), though. The seven-time Pro Bowler also served as a lifestyle correspondent for NBC Youth Byron Cowart Jersey , and also interviewed Brady. “It was dope to be able to interview Tom Brady and spend time with all of those guys on the Oaks day and on the Derby day. It was definitely an experience,” Miller said.“I’m a Tom Brady fan, unless on Sundays,” continued the Broncos’ pass rusher. When it comes to players outside of New England, this is about as positive an assessment as can be expected. And — who knows? — maybe Miller also is one of the reasons why the soon-to-be 42-year-old still reigns supreme as the NFL’s king of merchandise sales.
