49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw had intercepted Brady in the third quarter of the 49ers' 35-7 win on Sunday.
“I went like a little fangirl,” Greenlaw said. “I tried to soothe him up and make him feel better, ‘Man, you’re the greatest ever.’ But, he is. He really is. I was like, ‘Man, you don’t even got to sign the balls.’”
Warner, of course, wasn’t going to let his teammate get away with chickening out. The All-Pro admitted he was star-struck by Brady as well. “Yeah we had out little moment out there,” Warner said. “Me and Dre ran up to him. Dre had his football with him and Gips and asked him to sign the footballs. I had to run up there with him just to make sure Tom was going to sign them.
“It was a cool moment. Tom is a stand-up guy. He told us how much he respected our game too. He’s the goat, seriously.”Warner was a little disappointed that he did not intercept one of Brady's passes as well, thus not being able to obtain a one-of-a-kind memento from the game. The funniest part about this interaction might be that the linebacking duo had a sharpie with them for the autograph.
"We did," Warner said."We came prepared. Strolled up to him, 'Hey Tom can you sign the balls for us?' Like some five-year-olds. It was great."
