Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL

It’s not a lack of talent.

Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable.

As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why.

“There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.”

“These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’”

“Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’”

“And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.”

“And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.”

“They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.”

Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find.

It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.

Good use of a drone to provide overwatch to command. When you flip on the thermal, are you able to find your hotspots.👍

This baby went from sad/confused to absolute JOY the second those glasses went on.
First time seeing the world clearly. That smile says everything.
♥️ Heart = melted.
Who else is obsessed with these moments?

We’re in Mississippi this week where an EF-3 tornado stayed on the ground for 70 miles. Damage stretches from one community to the next, and heavy rain is slowing cleanup efforts. But in the South, friends, family, and neighbors always show up for each other

Baby hippo was making it so difficult for the keeper to get him out of the pool…

Until his mom gave him one single look and he obeyed immediately.

❓Did you know that NCEM has 61 state recognized wilderness search and rescue teams that are ready to respond to help local first responders find missing people? We are thankful for training just like what happened in Durham Co last night!

@MARCIAN2003 It takes a sharp eye to determine the difference between cockiness and confidence. There is a thin line. Getting to know the person helps to define this person’s personality.

DRONE SUCCESS STORY!

LVMPD officers responded to a report of a battery near Las Vegas and Elvis Presley Boulevards. As officers headed to the area, a drone was quickly deployed and located the suspect from above.

Even after the suspect attempted to discard his shirt to avoid identification, the drone maintained visual contact and guided officers directly to his location, leading to a quick and safe apprehension.

A clear example of how technology is helping officers respond faster and more effectively.

First there was the CBC broadcaster scream, then concern and horror for Lindsey Vonn. We saw Breezy Johnson having to sit forever after a historic run, knowing her US teammate had just been airlifted away. There were those close to Vonn sitting in the crowd in shock. Others in the crowd waving to the camera as if were just another sunny day in the mountains. Then there were the skiers yet to come trying to focus on their race and dreams.

A surreal morning in Cortina. But also an honest one. The cruelty and joys of sport at the highest level. And then people move on to the next event, to the next show.
