The Pro Football Hall of Fame officially inducted its 2020 2021 classes this past weekend, and there were plenty of stars and athletes in attendance for the big days. One of the biggest NFL players to appear was Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was sitting in the audience to watch his former rival, Peyton Manning, get immortalized in Canton, Ohio.
We have seen plenty of clips and photos of Brady interacting with his colleagues and members of the Hall of Fame. Brady interacted and took a photo with Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, and the photo had people talking due to the lighting of the shot.
Another player I caught up with last night at Peyton’s HOF party—Tom Brady. Nothing but class! Taking a day to leave training camp to be there shows the love and respect they have for each other. We were competitors on the field but I have ultimate respect for Tom as well! pic.twitter.com/nZgnFWB42R

Tom Brady’s photo with Tony Dungy at Pro Football Hall of Fame had people talking
Lighting is everything in photography, folks.
Dungy mentions that the two met up and took the photo at Manning’s Hall of Fame party. When Brady was a member of the New England Patriots, he had plenty of tough games against Dungy’s Colts. When Brady faced off against Dungy, he held a 5-3 record, including 2-1 in the playoffs.
During the ceremony, Manning did throw some shade at Brady, saying “by the time he is inducted in his first year of eligibility in the year 2035, he’ll only have time to post his acceptance speech on his Instagram account.” NFL Network, in the process of the funny jab at Brady, unintentionally threw it back by posting a graphic that showed that Brady held an 11-6 record during his 17 games against Manning.
With the Hall of Fame festivities over, Brady will return to Buccaneers training camp, with the focus set on winning the eighth Super Bowl of his career.
