Tom Brady's new center says the superstar quarterback took time out of their first workout together to teach him how to avoid the swamp ass
- Tom Brady took part in a two-hour throwing session with some of his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates on Tuesday.
- After the workout, Brady's new center Ryan Jensen posted a picture of the two together, explaining Brady's process for avoiding the butt sweat of his centers.
- Brady has been fighting against "swamp ass" since his early days as the Patriots starting quarterback and seems poised to continue that ongoing battle as a Buccaneer.
Tom Brady finally got the chance to begin preparing for the 2020 NFL season with his new teammates on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady took part in a two-hour throwing session on Tuesday, with the Tampa Bay Times reporting that he was joined by center Ryan Jensen, wide receivers Mike Evans and Scotty Miller, tight ends Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard, quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Griffin, and running back Dare Ogunbowale.
While the session gave Brady a chance to figure out his timing with some of his new offensive weapons, it also came with a lesson for his new center. After the workout, Jensen posted an image of Brady holding up a towel, writing "First you fold the towel once, then over its self again. Put it down your crack and douse in baby powder. No more ass sweat."
Brady has been fighting against the swamp ass of his centers for the majority of his career.
According to a report from Nick Underhill at The Athletic, Brady goes to great lengths to avoid his centers' sweaty butts.
"I always tell them I don't want to throw a wet ball on a perfectly sunny day," Brady told The Athletic, in regard to what Brady's first center, Damien Woody, referred to as "the swamp ass."
"There was a ritual where he would put the towel in. It's up to him," former Patriots center Dan Koppen told The Athletic. "So, he put the towel in the centers before the game and made sure (it was in place). You know, I mean, I'm sure putting your hands back there, I don't think you want to go into a sweaty vat."
Whether Jensen was relaying an actual conversation he had with Brady or making a joke about his past methods of countering swamp ass, the new teammates seem destined for some intimate moments playing in the Florida heat and humidity this fall.
