Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is not interested in an exchange with Washington Football Team rookie Chase Young.
The defensive star was seen shouting “Tom Brady, I’m going. I want Tom” after his team won the NFC East title with a week 17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington will host the Bucs in Saturday night’s NFC Wild Card Game at FedEx Field.

Brady was asked on Wednesday about Young’s comments, and he had nothing but positive things to say about choice # 2 in the NFL’s 2020 Draft.
“He is obviously a great young player. We are busy with this (defensive) line – one of the best D-lines in the league, “said Brady in his videoconference.
“Chase is a great young player – he went to the state of Ohio, so naturally I think this Ohio and Michigan state thing wore him out a bit. I understand that. We are prepared for a difficult challenge and it must be fun games . “
Brady, of course, played in Michigan.

Young’s comments after his team’s triumph in Week 17 can be considered billboard material for Brady and the Bucs. In Young’s defense, he didn’t say anything crazy, but Brady isn’t giving up on a challenge and we know he uses it as a motivation.
Washington’s rookie star will also be under a lot of pressure to support his words. If Young and his defensive line mates don’t put enough pressure on Brady’s pocket, the Buccaneers are likely to leave Washington with the franchise’s first playoff victory since 2002.
