Following Tom Brady's exit from the New England Patriots in 2019, former teammate Julian Edelman got a come-up from it.
When Brady left NE for Tampa Bay, he left behind some of his belongings in his locker. Edelman took advantage of the opportunity and stole multiple items such as game-worn cleats and a few jerseys.
Equipment wasn't the only thing that Edelman took from Brady's locker room. Edelman also admitted to stealing shots of his cologne. He said:
"When Tom left New England I went to his locker, I stole like three pairs of his cleats that he wore in games. I was taking like, I took a couple of jerseys. I think I may have taken his deodorant. He used to have his smell goods and I would always go over and steal a little shot of his perfume or cologne. Tom Brady always smells good. Tom always smells good. It's weird. I'm like, bro, how are you smelling good? We're on practice."

It's no surprise, out of all the people in the locker room, Brady would have the best-smelling cologne.
