Brady fires back at Twitter user who criticized his Madden rating, speed
Tom Brady may be a six-time Super Bowl champion, but he still has time to answer his critics.
On Monday, a Twitter user took a shot at Brady's speed while questioning why the New England Patriots' star quarterback received an overall rating of 96 in Madden 20.
Tom Brady can’t run 2 yards how the hell is he a 96?

The user didn't lay off, even after the Yahoo Sports NFL account pointed out Brady's achievements in the league.
Again, he can’t run 2 yards. If those ratings were based on the entire SuperBowl winning team, sure. As an individual, he’s not a 96.

😂 I 100% could run faster and further than Tom. So could 50% of high schoolers, 80% of college players, and 99% of pros. Learn how to unbiasedly access the totality of a player, then adjust these numbers and I could possibly take you seriously. 🤷🏻♂️

That's when Brady decided to step in.
I’m so much faster than you Matt.

The 14-time Pro Bowler didn't stop there. He then uploaded a video jokingly showcasing his speed.

Brady was handed a speed rating of 60 in Madden 20. It seems his social-media rating would be much higher.
