“He’s had a million different teammates and been successful” – Falcons HC Arthur Smith claims Tom Brady doesn’t get enough credit for his exploits

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to face the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 5 NFC South matchup. Ahead of the game in Tampa Bay, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith spoke about the 45-year-old quarterback in his press conference. He discussed Brady's sustainability and success throughout his career:

“Well, I don’t think Brady gets enough credit to sustain that level of success year after year, he’s going to make the right play. If you make a mistake or leave somebody uncovered, usually he finds them. Something as simple as a flat route, you bust a coverage or they don’t cover it, he kind of goes where you’re not."

Smith added:

‘He’s had a million different teammates and been successful, they’ve got a good team, they got good veteran players."

The Atlanta head coach then mentioned Buccaneers players like wide receiver Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He pointed to the trust the three-time NFL MVP has in them:

"Clearly, he’s got a lot of trust in Mike Evans — I would too if I were a quarterback — and they’ve got other veterans in there and they’ve mixed and matched. [Chris] Godwin seems to be getting back, you can tell he’s had a lot of trust in Godwin."

In his time under center for Tampa Bay, Tom Brady has had a great deal of success versus the Falcons.
