Tom Brady cannot put up with San Francisco 49ers linebacker, De’Vondre Campbell, not deciding to play against the Los Angeles Rams recently. A very subtle sneer at Campbell during Brady’s praise on Fox’s cover of Saturday’s AFC North rivalry fixture between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Kyle Van Noy was presented by Brady, who dissed Campbell subtly while talking about the game. Despite a fractured orbital bone in September, Van Noy has suited up for 14 games for the Ravens this year, and his toughness and devotion have earned him praise from the former teammate Brady.
Tom Brady’s subtle dig at De’Vondre Campbell
Tom Brady, in his first year of his 10-year, $375 million Fox deal, called the Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers matchup in Week 16, showing tremendous improvement in the broadcasting booth over the season. Brady was actually quite honest during the Week 16 game, particularly with regard to De’Vondre Campbell, who was recently suspended by the San Francisco 49ers for behavior, which he continues in the broadcasting booth.
The 49ers had previously suspended Campbell on grounds of refusal to enter action against Los Angeles Rams Week 15. Campbell was displeased with the opportunities he got returning from the injury of Dre Greenlaw and went to the locker room, refusing to go into the game. Campbell went under fire from fans, Kyle Shanahan, and teammates from his actions, while Brady had, as usual, spared the indirect compliment to Ravens’ Kyle Van Noy, who upheld those standards during his playing days.
“He [Van Noy] broke his eye socket earlier this season,” Brady said. “He basically played with a broken face, and I see other guys in the league. walking out on their teammates because they don’t want to play. … It’s why he’s a champion.”
Fans’ reaction to Tom Brady’s criticism
Fans speculate that Brady’s comments on Diontae Johnson’s situation may be related to the Ravens, who recently released him, and that he may have been referring to both Johnson and Campbell while praising Van Noy.
“Tom Brady just took a shot at De’Vondre Campbell,” said one fan. Another fan added, “Tom Brady taking a shot at De’Vondre Campbell for quitting on the 49ers is the most interesting thing Brady has said in the booth all season.” “Tom Brady taking shots at Campbell and Diontae on live TV, and I love it,” wrote a fan. “Devondre Campbell catching another stray, this time from Tom Brady. Much deserved,” added another fan.

The 49ers have faced some difficult times, losing family members, star players hurt with the loss, and even a rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall getting shot. Despite all these things, the players continue to work hand in hand to save their season, and Campbell’s behavior was considered unacceptable.
