Jets rookie Brandin Echols gets Tom Brady to autograph ball he intercepted

Echols picked off Brady and then asked the QB to sign the ball after the game

Intercepting a quarterback is a great moment for any defensive player, but it means even more when the ball is thrown by an elite quarterback. Future Hall of Famer Tom Brady has thrown 7,234 completions in his career to just 203 interceptions. Snagging a pass away from him is something to celebrate.

New York Jets rookie Brandin Echols is now part of the exclusive club, as he intercepted the seven-time Super Bowl champion on Sunday in his teams' 28-24 loss to the Bucs. Echols wanted to make sure he commemorated the moment, so he kept the football he picked off in the first half and then did something not seen every day.

After the game he asked Brady to sign ball.

Brady was picked off trying to find receiver Mike Evans, but he still got the win in a comeback victory on the road.  While Echols did not go home with the win, he did go home quite the souvenir.

Echols is 24, meaning he was only two years old when Brady was drafted. So realistically, Echols does not even remember an NFL world without Brady dominating it. Now he is competing against the 44-year-old QB.

Brady does not just sign autographs for fans -- he signs them for opponents as well.
