Five baby goats were brought to training camp practice Thursday by the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots as the NFL club celebrated superstar quarterback Tom Brady’s 40th birthday.
Brady, a five-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots, has often been tagged with the term “GOAT” as an abbreviation for “Greatest Of All Time” and he celebrated this birthday as he has many others, with a workout at the Patriots training camp.
Each baby goat wore a Patriots jersey bearing the number 12 worn by Brady with a huge “GOAT” sign displayed in tribute to Brady.
Brady also received a tribute on Instagram from his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen.
“Over 10 years ago I fell in love with you because of your beautiful and sensitive heart,” Bundchen wrote. “I love the sweetness in your essence. Today you are starting a big new chapter and I wish you so much happiness and fulfillment in all aspects of your life.
“Happy birthday my love! Making 40 feel like 20!!! You go @tombrady !!!! Te amo.”
For his part, Brady used social media to wish twin sister Julie a happy birthday. “When you share the same birthday....and also great fashion style! Happy birthday sweet Julie! I love you!” Brady wrote. “Thank you for being the best second oldest sister in the world!”
The Patriots open their pre-season schedule with a home game next Thursday against Jacksonville.
