On a recent edition of the new "Rushmore" podcast, Brady named his Mount Rushmore of wide recievers. During this, he compared one wide receiver to a NBA great.

"Number two, Randy Moss obviously had a chance to play with them. (Timestamp: 16:45) I don't think there's a receiver in history that could scare a defense the way Randy did. And believe me, everybody knew it's like Steph Curry garden threes. They know he wants the three. They know he's going to take a three, but he worked so hard to get open. And there were coverages that were played against Randy Moss that didn't come along again, till Calvin Johnson."
