Drew Bledsoe on Tom Brady calling games: ‘I’ll be annoyed by his squeaky voice’

Mackenzie Salmon, host of Sports Seriously, sat down with former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who shared insights on various topics, from the New England Patriots’ future to Tom Brady’s “squeaky voice”.

Bledsoe expressed strong confidence in Jerod Mayo, the Patriots’ new head coach, describing him as a unique combination of intelligence and physicality. “Jerod’s almost like some sort of Bond villain or superhero… a computer nerd in an NFL linebacker’s body,” Bledsoe said, pointing out Mayo’s intriguing background as a white-hat hacker during his high school years.

Turning his attention to the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, Alex Van Pelt, Bledsoe highlighted the importance of Van Pelt’s experience in developing rookie quarterback Drake Maye.

“Drake has a ton of natural ability… but he’s still a little raw,” Bledsoe observed.

When the conversation shifted to Tom Brady, Bledsoe couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at his former teammate, “I’m curious to watch how he does calling games… I’ll be annoyed by his squeaky voice… but I know he’ll be great at it.”
