Tom Brady has a message for NFL players<\/a> who would rather spend the preseason safely watching from the sideline.<\/p>\n

Get in the game.<\/p>\n

The seven-time Super Bowl champion took a shot at the increasingly common practice of established players sitting out exhibition games after a fan shared an old clip of Brady playing deep into a 2010 New England Patriots<\/a> preseason game.<\/p>\n

Brady reposted the video to his Instagram Story and made his feelings pretty clear.<\/p>\n

“Preseason\u2026 Regular season\u2026 I never wanted to be taken off the field. Practice makes perfect,” Brady wrote. “Too many people looking for easy ways out these days.”<\/p>\n

The clip came from an Aug. 26, 2010 preseason game against the then-St. Louis Rams, when Brady played through New England’s<\/a> first offensive series of the fourth quarter. He finished 18-of-22 for 273 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions and a perfect 158.0 passer rating. One of those touchdowns was a 65-yard strike to Randy Moss.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like he needed to prove himself worthy of a spot on an NFL roster<\/a>, either. At this point, Brady already had three Super Bowl rings and two Super Bowl MVP awards.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s a perfectly reasonable argument for keeping stars out of meaningless preseason games. The NFL now plays 17 regular-season games, and coaches understandably aren’t thrilled about risking the health of multimillion-dollar players in August.<\/p>\n

Brady, apparently, does not care for that argument.<\/p>\n

“When you’re a football player, and it’s football season, your job is to play football,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

Sure, this could be dismissed as a classic “kids these days” moment from a retired quarterback yelling at the younger generation to get off his lawn and work harder.<\/p>\n

Then again, Brady put his seven Super Bowl<\/a> rings where his mouth is.<\/p>\n

So maybe there\u2019s something to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
