Tom Brady immediately turned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into Super Bowl contenders.
The Bucs were stacked on both sides of the field, but adding a six-time Super Bowl champion to that mix only made them even scarier.
Notably, though, that Bucs team hadn’t been where Brady had been multiple times, which is why he took it upon himself to inspire them with an epic pre-game speech ahead of Super Bowl LV.
Recently, Leonard Fournette talked about that speech, citing how Brady told them that it was all about people remembering their names and how winning a Super Bowl was forever, like joining a band of brothers.

Fournette added that everybody obviously took it seriously, as Brady had already been there multiple times and clearly knew what he was talking about.
The former Bucs RB also stated that Brady’s preparation, work ethic, and determination to play and compete at an elite level every single day also inspired everybody around him to try and be at his same level, which eventually led to that championship.
The Kansas City Chiefs were the team to beat at the time, with Patrick Mahomes playing like the best player in the National Football League, but Brady and the Bucs simply weren’t going to be denied.
The years have passed and Brady’s words are still rumbling around Fournette’s head.
And no matter what happens in the future or even if he doesn’t play in the league again, no one can take that Super Bowl win away from him, just like Brady said.
