Brady Has Never Felt Better Physically

Oct 17, 2014 12:41 AM

Tom Brady is now 36, meaning he unquestionably is nearing the end of his career as his physical abilities begin to decline. But Brady has continued to post incredibly productive numbers in his thirties.

“I think over the years I’ve actually learned to take care of myself a little bit better, so this is the best I’ve ever felt,” Brady said. “I’ve never felt any better than I have at this point, so I’m excited. We’ve had three good days with the whole team together and I think we’ve seen some improvements, but we still have a long way to go.”

Brady's bigger issue this season may be the loss of his receiving weapons.

Percy Harvin will undergo hip surgery.

It is unclear how long Harvin will be out, but early estimations put the number at three to four months. Harvin would not be able to return until November under that timeframe.

The Seattle Seahawks acquired Harvin in the offseason in exchange for a first-round and seventh-round pick in 2013 and a third-round pick in 2014. Harvin also signed a six-year, $67 million extension with $25 million guaranteed.

Robert Griffin III Will Wear Brace For Entire 2013 Season

Sep 26, 2014 1:24 PM

Robert Griffin III will wear a brace on his surgically repaired right knee during the entire 2013 season.

“I don’t think I’m mindful of it,” Griffin said. “I don’t really worry about my leg any more. I just play football. That’s a sign that you’re getting ready. Consistently I forget my brace, like I did on the first day [of camp] and everybody made a big deal out of that. But I feel great. It’s just about Coach wanting to be real cautious with me. And that’s understandable. So I’m just taking it that way and I feel good in seven-on-seven.”
