Tom Brady has made just about every throw imaginable during his Hall of Fame career, but can the seven-time Super Bowl champion actually complete a pass to a machine that is designed for automatically throwing them? We highly doubt it, but he sure has a lot of people fooled.
Brady shared a video on Sunday that showed what appeared to be him completing three consecutive passes to a football throwing machine. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wrote that he is excited for training camp and “having some actual receivers again.” Check it out:
That certainly looked real, and there were more than a few people who didn’t dare doubt Brady.
Unfortunately, the video was almost certainly doctored. Brady has a great video editing team, and he shares videos like that all the time. Some great examples would be the time he threw a football to the moon and when he made a bunch of mind-boggling putts before “The Match.”
The videos are usually fake. The editing skills and creativity, however, are not.
