Football season is my favorite season. Not only are there apples, cinnamon and sugar, and crunchy leaves everywhere, but there are hot men on the T.V. As a die-hard New Englander, the Patriots are the reason why life continues on. However, we are missing our OG, Tom Brady, for a few games, but we gained a new angel. Jimmy G. Here are 5 reasons why New England accepted Jimmy into our hearts in a matter of weeks.
1. His smile
Okay, I mean c'mon. Look at that smile. He has a smile that screams "Trust me, I can throw a ball."
2. He is the underdog
People aren't expecting him to be as amazing as Brady because Brady is one of a kind. But that just makes rooting for him so much better.
3. He is young
He's only 24 years old. I could marry him.
4. He's actually good at the game
If he had to play for more than 4 weeks, he would have a decent shot at bringing us to at least the playoffs (maybe).
5. He's babe #2 and the potential future for the New England Patriots
In 2001, Tom Brady filled in for Drew Bledsoe after Bledsoe suffered an injury. Even after he was cleared to play again, they kept Brady on the field. While Brady shouldn't be worried for his career, Jimmy G could very well be the replacement for when Tom retires.
While we all love Jimmy, there is no doubt that Brady will return with a vengeance. Until then, let's enjoy that smile.
