Broncos running back thanks Tom Brady for inspiring him in heartfelt Instagram post
On Tuesday, Broncos running back C.J. Anderson posted an Instagram message in honor of Tom Brady. Amidst the trash talk that went on before the game, Anderson showed that he had so much respect for someone who was drafted so late, yet became one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
The caption:
I know a lot of people hate this man but man when he was pick 199 and was over look he inspired me I was undrafted and over came all the odds so bless what he told me at the end of this game. He said “CJ way to fight and prove everybody wrong you belong in this league and your one hell of a player I love the way you run keep climbing to be great” those words meant so much growing up watching Tom overcame I’m proud to say I’m 3-2 vs his teams and proud to say I get to battle him every year. Thanks Tom for telling me those words they will stick and I know a lot of people don’t like you but I have MAD RESPECT. Thanks I see you overcome as others in this league and now it’s my turn.
