Tom Brady is an authoritative voice within the NFL, and one only needs to look at his achievements to consider him the GOAT, though that doesn’t mean he’s always right.

This time, the former quarterback and Hall of Famer dared to place one of his teammates not just alongside, but above one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play in the league: Calvin Johnson.
Tom Brady explains why Julian Edelman was better than Calvin Johnson
The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player explained on the “Impaulsive” podcast the reason why some football players manage to become champions without being the most talented or physically gifted (perhaps referring to himself, as we all know his story).

So, he took the time to compare his former Patriots teammate, Julian Edelman, with the superstar receiver Calvin Johnson, one of the most physically gifted athletes in NFL history.
“Greatness comes from different things. It’s not just physical. There’s a mental and emotional aspect as well to being great. You can’t be a peak performer if you’re not competitive every day,” Brady commented on the podcast. “There were some of the best physical athletes I ever had that were not competitive every day. There were some of the lesser physical athletes that were competitive every day.

“Those lesser physical athletes who were competitive every day were champions,” Brady continued. “They won multiple Super Bowls. You know who is a great example of that? Julian Edelman. Wasn’t the biggest. Wasn’t the fastest. Tough, competitive, grimy, three Super Bowls. So, he was a champion, but people would say, ‘Well, Calvin Johnson was more physically gifted.’ There’s a lot of them out there. But, Julian’s a champion. I don’t know. Everyone gets to define it how they want to,” he added.
Julian Edelman won three Super Bowls during his career and was one of Tom Brady’s favorite targets when he was the quarterback for the New England Patriots. On the other hand, Calvin Johnson became a superstar who never won an NFL title, though he earned a place in the Hall of Fame in 2021.
