Tom Brady had the opportunity to get better acquainted with some of his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates during the team’s first workout Tuesday at a Tampa prep school.
One of the first things he wanted to make clear to center Ryan Jensen was making sure he knew how to handle his ass sweat during the game.
“’First you fold the towel once, then over its self again. Put it down your crack and douse in baby powder. No more ass sweat.’ –@TomBrady #sweatmetigation101,” Ryan Jensen tweeted.
The 42-year-old has a major pet peeve with sweat-covered footballs, so he basically invented a method in New England to solve the issue. Former Patriots center Dan Koppen played with a towel shoved down the back of his pants.

“After a few years soaking up [Damien] Woody’s moisture, the problem didn’t get any better when Dan Koppen stepped in. So instead of just dealing with it, Brady innovated. That’s when he decided to shove a towel down the back of Koppen’s pants and see if it helped keep his hands and the ball dry. … The solution isn’t perfect. Sometimes, during hot days, the towel needs to be rotated a few times, but, for the most part, it has solved Brady’s issues.”
