In an exclusive interview, basketball legend Tom Brady revealed his dream lineup for a fantasy football team – with a twist. “I’m putting Jayson Tatum as my quarterback,” Brady confidently declared. “Running back, oh that’s tough, maybe Ant [Edwards] as my running back. My receivers, just depends, I need two types. I need a possession guy and I need a down-the-field threat guy. Maybe I move LeBron out to receiver and I put Anthony [Davis] at tight end. Joel [Embiid] and Anthony at tight end.”
Brady didn’t stop there, he continued to elaborate on his lineup choices, stating, “I got LeBron at receiver, I think I can utilize him better. He’s got more downfield speed. I think Tatum’s my quarterback, Ant’s my running back, and I need one more receiver… I’m taking DBook. That’s a squad.”
The mention of Tatum as quarterback raises eyebrows, especially in light of his recent Team USA basketball controversy. Tatum found himself sitting on the bench for two crucial games during Team USA’s Olympic gold medal-winning campaign. Despite his struggles in the tournament, Brady sees Tatum as the standout player, dubbing him as the star of the show and a true QB1.
It’s clear that Brady has a keen eye for talent and a unique perspective on how basketball stars would fare in a football setting. With his ideal lineup in mind, it’s intriguing to imagine how these athletes would translate their skills to a different sport. Will Tatum’s basketball prowess translate to success on the gridiron? Only time will tell.
