Tom Brady is an exemplary athlete even in defeat

Even in defeat, Tom Brady showed himself to be an exemplary athlete. After having the ball stolen and recovered by Dereck Barnett in the play that defined the victory of the Eagles over New England in Super Bowl LII, the quarterback didn't hesitate to congratulate the defensive lineman, the champion of the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The encounter between both players took place in the tunnels of US Bank Stadium, when Brady and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, were leaving the Minnesota venue. Barnett crossed their path and Tom approached him to shake his hand and give him a couple of pats on the chest.
