For most NFL fans,
Tom Brady’s let-his-hair-down moment and the ensuing drunken trophy toss at the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl parade was a rare glimpse of him letting loose. But his teammates have often talked about how Brady loves partying. Former Patriots DT Vince Wilfork has recently revealed that Brady’s 2021 trophy toss wasn’t the only time the team got a look at Brady’s fun side.
The ‘Young and Drunk’ Version Of Tom Brady Which Vince Wilfork Saw At The Derby
In the latest episode of Green Light with Chris Long, Wilfork revealed that he saw an adventurous side of Tom Brady at the 2014 Kentucky Derby. Wilfork said that during his and Brady’s attendance at the Derby, the latter got quite drunk and lost some of his inhibition.
“Yes, I did see him drunk, but it was early on in my career. Tom was always private, like Tom only used to hang around certain people and stuff, but I think I’ve seen him drunk because we had gone to Derby. There I got a chance to see the different side of him,” Wilfork recalled.
Tom Brady is a big Kentucky Derby fan and visited Churchill Downs where his Pork Pie hat would make headlines the next day. Wilfork also pointed out how Brady was different than most quarterbacks especially when it comes to dealing with people.

He is a great team player,” Wilfork broke down. “I would see rookies coming in and they would have a jersey and Tom would sit there and sign. He would tell nobody no, he never cared who you are, he doesn’t care how long you’ve been in the league—he would sit and sign for you.”
Wilfork also called the seven-time Super Bowl winner one of the best teammates he’s ever had the chance to play with. Many kudos go to him because you know QBs have a stigmatism to where they are known to be a-holes. But Tom probably is one of the greatest teammates I’ve had.”
