Fan who gave back Tom Brady milestone ball has one request for QB
Tom Brady threw his 600th career touchdown pass during Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bears, and he was fortunate to get the ball back. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan who gave it up hasn’t asked for much, but he does have one request for the star quarterback.
Mike Evans caught a touchdown pass from Brady in the first half and had no idea it was Brady’s 600th. The receiver handed the ball to a fan named Byron Kennedy, who was wearing Evans’ No. 13 jersey. A Bucs team staffer then came over to Kennedy and chatted with him, and Kennedy gave the ball back. You can see the video of the exchange here.
Kennedy was compensated for his generosity. The Bucs hooked him up with a different ball, an autographed jersey, some Pro Shop gift cards and other stuff. Kennedy told Ryan Bass of 10 Tampa Bay on Monday that Brady deserved the ball, but he’s hoping the seven-time Super Bowl champion will play a round of golf with him.
