DRE GREENLAW

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw had a moment he will never forget: he intercepted a ball from Tom Brady and then got him to autograph it.

Brady obliged with a smile alongside some handshakes with Greenlaw and fellow 49ers defenders Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. #49ers Dre Greenlaw picked off Tom Brady today and Brady signed his ball after the game 🫡🎥: @49ers pic.twitter.com/g7cSbp6B5v — OurSF49ers (@OurSf49ers) December 12, 2022It was a class move by Brady, who has the comfort of going home to seven Super Bowl rings.
