Aside from being a legendary player, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is also a first-class troll.
He took a subtle shot at the Atlanta Falcons before their Week 2 contest last season by setting the computer’s time behind him at 3:28.
Those numbers coincide with the deficit Brady and the New England Patriots overhauled to win Super Bowl LI over the Falcons.
He also posted a video of himself and tight end Rob Gronkowski set to the song “Bad Boys For Life” after their playoff victories during the 2020 season.
This year, the 44-year-old play-caller is at it again after achieving another feat that stamps down his popularity.
And @TomBrady of course makes sure that @PatrickMahomes and @JoshAllenQB know who's #1 pic.twitter.com/ixwESx6CXj

NFL insider Dov Kleiman tweeted that Brady’s jersey tops the list of verified jersey sales from March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes is second while the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is at third place.
Reigning MVP and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is at ninth spot.
Coincidentally, those three players are Brady’s fellow participants in the sixth edition of “The Match” exhibition match play golf challenge.
In that friendly competition on June 1, Brady will partner with Rogers while Mahomes will play with Allen.
Brady and Rodgers competed against each other in the fourth edition of the event.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner paired with Phil Mickelson while the four-time MVP teamed up with Bryson DeChambeau.

Kleiman also shared that Brady took an opportunity to fire a verbal jab at Allen and Mahomes.
He shared the jersey sales results while saying, “Sorry @patrickmahomes and @joshallenqb this is gonna happen on June 1 as well in Vegas.”
The golf course is one thing, but the gridiron is another.
In football, these players will let their game do the talking.
Brady might meet one of these quarterbacks in Super Bowl LVII if the Buccaneers make it that far.
When that happens, the pleasantries on the golf course will take a back seat.
