Photo of Tom Brady’s 15-Year-Old Son Towering Over Julian Edelman Goes Viral

Tom Brady is listed at 6’4”, and it looks like his older son, Jack, inherited his height gene. The legendary quarterback shared a photo of the 15-year-old and cracked a quip at the expensive of one of his favorite former teammates, Julian Edelman.

In an Instagram story posted earlier this week, Jack—Brady’s son with ex Bridget Moynahan—stood back-to-back with Edelman, and he’s clearly a few inches taller than the 5’10” Patriots great.

“Sorry @eleman11 you stopped growing and now this 15 year old is towering over you ❤️❤️,” Brady wrote over the photo posted to Instagram.

The post may have been a clapback after Edelman tweeted a full video breakdown of the newly retired Brady’s viral “thirst trap” photo, which he took from the side of his bed wearing only a pair of his Brady-branded underwear.

“Looks like old Tommy Boy is getting into the ol’ thirst trap game,” Edelman said, before giving a full evaluation of the photo and giving the “first timer” an eight out of 10.

Naturally, the photo of Jack and Edelman raises questions about the teen’s own football future. He’s spent time around the Buccaneers in recent years, working as a ball boy. Just a few months ago, Brady posted a photo of Jack dropping back with a football in his hands during a Bucs practice.

“❤️ My Inspiration ❤️,” the future Hall of Famer captioned the photo.

Time will tell whether the football world will have another Arch Manning-type recruitment on its hands in a couple years, but Brady seems to be having a good time with his family as he sets out into his post-football life.
