This is not what Tom Brady came back for.
"The worst thing he could tell me is no," Greenlaw said when asked about his decision to request the autographs."I was always told if you don't ask, you'll never know."
Greenlaw then explained the decision-making process alongside some effusive praise for Brady. He might not have made the ask without an assist from Warner. "He's a good guy," Greenlaw said of Brady..."That's big time. I appreciate him. He's the greatest. He's the GOAT, so I appreciate that. ... "I was like, man you ain't even gotta sign the ball. I knew he was likely going through a lot. ... And then Fred comes over, and Fred's like 'you get the balls signed?' And I was just like, 'yeah, man, now you gotta sign these balls.' So he signed them. It was cool, no doubt."
It's a cool moment for Greenlaw, who was already feeling the high of leading the 49ers with 15 tackles on top of his interception as San Francisco won its sixth straight game. It's a moment that Brady surely would have preferred to skip. But he handled it like a champ.
