Harris praised Brady for his strategic approach, noting that the veteran quarterback used motion and formations to challenge defenders. Brady would cleverly position players such as Wes Welker and Danny Amendola to create advantageous matchups.

“He can make all the throws he can and he can throw on the run. That’s the difference with him and Brady. Brady couldn’t really throw too much on the run but in the pocket he’s A+.
“But a guy like Mahomes, he can scramble, he can throw on the run and he makes those crucial plays in the fourth round and I mean the fourth quarter that just kills the defense.”
