Saturday marks a special day for Tom Brady, and his fellow NFL superstars rose to the occasion.
In honor of Brady’s 42nd birthday, a handful of the league’s best offered celebratory messages to the New England Patriots quarterback. With Brady now getting up there in age, the remarks expectedly were a mix of friendly roasting and sincerity.
Check out the video below, which includes words from Deshaun Watson, Zach Ertz, Saquon Barkley, Drew Brees and new Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed, among others.
Happy birthday to the 🐐!

Brady wasn’t going to go quietly, though. The six-time Super Bowl champion quickly responded to the clip with a message for everyone who trolled him.
Thanks for the birthday wishes guys, but everyone who was making jokes is on a list now! 🤣🤣 https://t.co/wgjKjfv22U

Brady got the last laugh last season, and he’ll look to do so again in the 2019 season, his 20th (!) in the league.
