When you think of Tom Brady, the top things that come to mind are his ability to perform in the clutch, his quick-release and his accuracy. But, what it really should be is his toughness and durability. Over Brady’s 20-year NFL career, the quarterback has two of the longest consecutive start streaks in NFL history among quarterbacks. He started 111 straight regular-season games before tearing his ACL in 2008, and then 112 straight regular-season games until he was suspended four games for his role in Deflategate in 2016. The streaks are the 10th and 11th-longest among QBs in NFL history. Obviously, his last streak ended due to suspension, not injury, so if that did not happen, Monday would be Brady’s 167th straight start, and that would be fifth-longest all-time among QBs. Over Brady's entire career, he's only missed 15 games due to injury, and those all came in one season. “That is part of the reason why he’s the GOAT,” Julian Edelman said Friday on The Greg Hill Show. “The guy has played in a lot of football games and takes care of his body. It definitely is a reason why he’s at where he’s at because he can do it for such a long time. That is part of the TB12 philosophy.” Of course, this comes up following Patrick Mahomes suffering a knee injury Thursday night that will have him miss several weeks. So, what’s Brady’s secret? “Pliability, man,” he said. “That’s what I work on every day.”
