Patriots fans were quick to defend Tom Brady after Antonio Brown's latest tweet

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the greatest NFL draft steal of all time. Don't tell that to Antonio Brown, though.

The former Patriots wide receiver, who is still without a team as the league continues to investigate allegations made against him, tweeted Wednesday morning claiming to be the best sixth-round draft pick of all time.

Brown didn't realize that Brady, a six-time Super Bowl champion and arguably the best player in pro football history, also was a sixth-round pick in 2000. It's also possible Brown just thinks he's the best, and honestly, you have to admire his boldness if that's the case. Brown has shown an affection for Brady since he was released from the Patriots in September, so he probably just forgot about where the 42-year-old quarterback was drafted.

Regardless, his tweet drew quite a response from Patriots fans who were quick to remind the 31-year-old wide receiver that Brady is the best sixth-rounder to ever play the game.

Brown, in his defense, absolutely ranks among the best draft steals in league history. His six-year run from 2013 through 2018 is one of the most impressive from any wide receiver.
