Tom Brady and Trevor Lawrence shared the NFL briefly, but the two will spend much of the next decade at least at arm's length with Brady in the booth and Lawrence on the gridiron. In his first 13 weeks on the job, Brady has spoken out on plenty of topics, but his most recent comments could be his most controversial yet.
Speaking in an interview on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on Wednesday, in a clip provided by "Get Up," Brady appeared to side against quarterbacks for playing too recklessly.
"There's an aspect to me that I think the quarterbacks need to take better care of themselves," Brady said (01:45). "When you run, you put yourself in a lot of danger. When you do that, I don't think the onus of protecting an offensive quarterback who's running should be on a defensive player. I don't think that's really fair to the defense."
