1. Tom Brady

Tom Brady is going to have to be on top of his game. Without Josh Gordon, he now is without another major target.

This hasn’t been a great season for Brady. He hasn’t looked like himself. His decision making has been iffy to say the least and the quarterback is racking up the interceptions. Brady is known for being precise and accurate. This season we have seen the complete opposite.

Brady has thrown 9 interceptions this season. This may seem rather good, but Brady hasn’t thrown this many interceptions since 2014.

Now Brady will have fewer guys to throw to. Without Gordon, teams will be able to key in on James White and Julian Edelman. Brady will have to get the ball out even quicker than he had to at the beginning of the season.

Tom Brady will have to work his magic again. Hopefully, he is able to defy all the odds once again in his legendary career.
