"One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time" - Tom Brady lauds Aaron Rodgers ahead of blockbuster Packers-Buccaneers face off

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers are two of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. The two will face off this Sunday at Tampa Bay at 4:25 ET, with many expecting it to be a good game involving the legendary quarterbacks.

Ahead of their week three showdown, Brady spoke on his podcast, Let's Go, and spoke highly of the Packers.

"Yeah, it's a tough game. It's a big challenge. I'd got a lot of studying on the plane last night. It's a new defense coordinator since the last time we played them. And they had some really talented players on defense. [They're] really physical upfront, some great edge rushers were Rashan Gary, is a former Michigan guy that I love and he's a great player rushing to the quarterback so well."

Brady added that the Packers have a good, young secondary, as well as Aaron Rodgers, who is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time leading them.

"They have really athletic linebackers, first round pick this year. And then guys in the secondary, Jaire Alexander is one of the great young corners in the game. I think one of the highest paid guys in the game too. So they're good at the secondary. They're very good at linebacker, they get a lot of pass rushers. They have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Aaron leading them. And they played great last night."

Rodgers reciprocated the respect after Sunday night's victory over the Chicago Bears. He said that TB12 is a legend and that the Packers will have to play their best football against the Buccaneers.
