Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady met popular internet personality iShowSpeed - and it didn’t take long for the pair to have an interesting bet.
Brady, 48, is widely recognised as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, having won seven Super Bowls as well as being named the NFL Most Valuable Player on three occasions throughout his over two-decade career.
These days, the former Patriots star is regularly spotted working as an analyst on FOX while also retaining a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
Earlier this week, Brady appeared alongside streamer iShowSpeed – formerly Darren Watkins Junior – as well as his former teammate Danny Amendola.

The two former pros put Speed through his paces and tested whether he had what it takes to make it as a professional football player.
The content creator undertook a strength and conditioning programme with a top coach, before taking to the field with All-Pro defensive back Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and two-time Super Bowl winner Amendola before a showdown with Brady himself, where Speed then tried to intercept the seven-time champion.
Towards the end of the stream, Speed asked Amendola and Brady: “What do you think, can I be an NFL pro?”

“Yes, definitely,” Brady replied.
“[You are] tough, [have good] attitude, work ethic, all of it counts, man.”
Amendola then agreed, saying that Speed has “got what it takes” to make the grade in the NFL.
Next came the ultimate challenge, when Brady prepared to hit the goalposts with a throw from 30 yards.

Amendola initially joked that he’d give Brady $100,000 if he managed to hit the goalposts from the lengthy distance before decreasing the offer to $75,000.
Speed joked that he’d say “[Lionel] Messi better [than Cristiano] Ronaldo” if the 48-year-old hit the posts.
Almost obviously, Brady hit the post with a right-handed throw before shouting, “Pay the man his money”.
Brady then teased Speed and tried to get him to say that Messi is better than his idol, Ronaldo, before one observer suggested to “turn the camera off”, before the screen blacked out.

Fans were quick to offer their thoughts on social media.
One said: “Why did even Brady even retire, man?”
Another added: "Imagine if Speed had played throughout high school and college. He'd be very special.”
A third claimed: “Those words coming from the NFL king himself have to be the best motivation there has ever been, good luck, Speed, you can definitely do it.”
