Tom Brady ‘obsessed with Michael Jordan,’ former teammate and Fox NFL star Julian Edelman claims

TOM Brady has a superstar from another sport on his mind as he chases NFL records.

Brady, who won seven Super Bowls during his remarkable career, hopes to equal and break NBA legend Michael Jordan’s record.

It’s no secret that Brady grew up admiring Joe Montana and his memorable exploits with the San Francisco 49ers.

But Brady’s former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman revealed who the NFL great is also considering when he keeps adding the Vince Lombardi Trophy to his cabinet.

“I want to help Tom get ahead of Joe,” Edelman said on the Bill Simmons Podcast.

“I was like, ‘Tom, we’re going to get four (rings) here. You’re going to pass Joe (Montana). We’re going to do it.

“He looked at me hard with his little eyes – you have a death stare – and he said, ‘I’m not going to Montana. I’m going to Jordan.’

“If you heard it 18 years later, I’d be like, ‘Jordan! Jordan! You got him!’.

“It’s just one of those things where no matter what he says he wants to accomplish, this guy is actually going to grind, focus, and do whatever it takes to make it happen.”

Chicago Bulls icon Jordan won six championships, including two three-peats.

He’s 14 years older than Brady and will be in his prime as the future NFL Hall of Famer grows up.

Brady’s exploits over two decades have become NFL folklore.

He won six Super Bowls under New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Later in his career, Brady moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and immediately won his seventh championship.

This win would be sweet for Brady on many levels — one of which would eclipse Jordan’s magical No. 6.

Brady eventually retired for the second time at age 45.

He will begin his new role as Fox’s lead NFL analyst beginning with the 2024 season.
