Drew Bledsoe jokes that Tom Brady was the 'worst backup quarterback' in NFL history


Tom Brady was inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday, but one of his former teammates made sure the seven-time Super Bowl champion wasn't in the cloud.

As if the Netflix roast wasn't enough, Drew Bledsoe made sure to keep Brady level-headed while all the prominent figures from his Patriots career appeared at the ceremony.

“Of all the great things about Tom – great teammate, greatest quarterback of all time – you were the worst backup quarterback in NFL history,” Bledsoe said. “You never understood that when I recovered, you were supposed to sit down.”

Brady laughed at Bledsoe's hit.

It seemed like something of a continuation of Brady's roast on the streaming giant last month. Bledsoe took some clean shots at the Patriots legend and even revealed that his wife helped him with a comment about Gisele Bündchen.

New Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, Bill Belichick, Rob Gronkowski, Randy Moss and Robert Kraft welcomed Brady to the franchise's Hall of Fame.

The Patriots announced that number 12 was officially retired by the Patriots. No other member of the team may wear the number. The team will also build a statue of him outside Gillette Stadium.

New England selected Brady with the 199th overall pick in the 2000 draft. He became a starter when Bledsoe suffered an injury early in the 2001 season. Brady would not relinquish the position until he left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

He led the team to six Super Bowl titles and helped lead the team to two dynastic eras in his career. He had 74,571 passing yards and 541 passing touchdowns as a member of the Patriots.
