Heath Evans played full back in the NFL and got to block for two future Hall of Famers,

Tom Brady and Drew Breeze.

He spent four seasons with the New England Patriots from 2005 to 2008, then finished

his career with the New Orleans Saints.

In 2009 and 2010, where he won a Super Bowl, Evans recently shared his thoughts on the differences

between the two quarterback's leadership styles.

Brady could be tough and direct when someone messed up, but he always followed it with

strong encouragement to lift the team.

Breeze, on the other hand, stayed positive all the time, showing constant faith in his teammates

without any intensity.

Both quarterback shared some key traits that made them great.

They prepared like their jobs dependent on it, studying film every day from Monday through

Saturday.

They also put the team first, even if it meant passing up personal stats for runs when

needed.

Evans has huge respect for both, and learned a ton from playing with them.

He sees value in their different approaches, but would not pick a favorite.

Their head-to-head battles add another layer, with Breeze holding a 5-3 edge over Brady,

including playoffs.
