The legends of the NFL, notably Tom Brady, Barry Sanders, Joe Montana, Peyton and Eli Manning, Tim Brown and Jerry Rice have all set up surprise videos for some of the best recruits of the Draft class.
The fanatics shared the moment when the first choice of Tennessee Titans, the quarter-Arrière Cam Ward, saw Brady appear on the screen to give him wise words.

“You are going to grow in a way that you couldn’t even imagine, and I’m going to watch, and I’m still shooting for you,” said Brady.
“Just crazy for the biggest player of all time to send me a video like that,” Ward replied after watching Brady’s video.
Brady also gave advice to the receiver of the Patriots of New England Kyle Williams, who could not hold back his emotions when he looked under his seat and found a jersey signed Brady – just like Ward.

Each recruit obtained a video and a jersey signed by a legend who played for his team, a current veteran who plays their position.

“I was not the most talented guy, but I had my work ethics, and I was not going to let anyone surpass myself,” Rice told Hunter.
“Way of being a choice among the first five, guy. We talked about it. You did it. Congratulations,” said Dallas Cowboys Rusher Star, Micah Parsons, to the recruit of the New York Giants, Abdul Carter, another Penn State product which will be his rival now.

And the new Carter teammate, the ball carrier Cam Skattebo, could not hold back his tears after hearing Eddie George give him words of encouragement.
While these recruits continue to cring out in the training camp, they will be sponges, by soaking all the advice and information that they can make sure that they walk on the right path to reach the heights to which these legends have obtained.
