Buccaneers: Tom Brady quote shows he has zero interest in babying teammates

When an NFL player is teammates with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, they know they're going to have to give everything they have.
But the best part about it is they want to lay it all on the line. That's the type of effect Brady has and it's a big reason why he's a seven-time Super Bowl champion.
"We just feel like, with him, we can do anything," Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans said in a recent interview with KCPR2's Ari Alexander. "We are just trying to play our hardest for him and be the best that we can be for the team."
So it shouldn't be a surprise that Brady had a rather interesting response when center Ryan Jensen told Brady he was in danger of missing the Buccaneers' Week 6 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Draft Network's Carmen Vitali recently tweeted Jensen's story and believe me, it doesn't disappoint:
Jensen is one of the toughest players on the Buccaneers roster and in the NFL, in general. So, it's no surprise that he eventually suited up and played against the Eagles.
However, it's also pretty interesting to note that Brady pumped Jensen up. If Jensen, of all people, is doubting his availability, then it must be a pretty serious injury.
But Brady said "no sir". And Jensen said "OK, Mr. Brady. I'll do it."
Probably helps that Jensen is one of the league's best centers, as well. But, either way, Brady wasn't letting him miss the game against the Eagles.
It's just another example of how Brady is some football god-like wizard that defies literally any and all physics known to man.
Is there anything Brady can't do?
