Seven-time Super Bowl champion and current broadcaster Tom Brady knows something about great quarterback play.
Now that he is in the booth with us every weekend instead of on the field, fans have more access to him and his thoughts.
On Saturday, Brady admitted that he “loves” watching one quarterback in particular, and most fans would have to agree.
Before Saturday’s huge AFC North battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, Brady said before the game, “I absolutely love watching Lamar (Jackson) play. He’s got all the physical traits in the world.”

Brady also said he was sure Lamar heard all the talk during the week leading up to the game about how he had lost four in a row to the Steelers and hadn’t beaten them since 2019 while throwing just five touchdowns and eight interceptions against them in his career.
He was right, as Lamar shredded the Steelers defense for 207 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception as his Ravens rolled to a resounding 34-17 victory to move into a tie atop the AFC North.
Had the Ravens lost, Pittsburgh would have clinched the division, but the race will now go down to the final two weeks.
Jackson is now up to career highs with 3,787 passing yards and 37 touchdowns on the year while running for 765 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
It’s just another MVP output for the 2-time MVP, and we’ll see if his team can ride this momentum into next week against the Houston Texans.
