Eagles fan Dawn Staley jokingly said even she couldn’t resist Tom Brady’s undeniable charm

Ask any average Philadelphia Eagles fan what they think about Tom Brady, and their answer will likely amount to some combination of expletive-laden insults. But not for iconic Eagles fan Dawn Staley.

Well, at least not anymore.

In a Sunday Twitter post, Staley revealed she had apparently met Brady in person for the first time. As the legendary college basketball would say, it was hard to resist Brady’s undeniable charm and glow while being taken aback by his hand covered with all his Super Bowl rings.

If given the opportunity, it seems even Brady can really break down the walls of an Eagles fan of all people:

Yall I can not lie to you….don’t you ever ever look directly into @TomBrady eyes……this man is seriously beautiful. And I shook his hand….the Super Bowlssss hand. And the hand was just as gorgeous. Ok I’m done but for real. pic.twitter.com/xwKwT2dlsN

Look, as a self-avowed Brady hater myself, I don’t doubt that he’s probably incredibly likeable once you meet him in person. All that talk about “villain” and “ruined the NFL” goes out the window once you see someone’s smile and once you see all the football jewelry they own. I get it. I do.

Even still, kudos to Staley for admitting this out loud. Swallowing one’s pride as an Eagles fan is no easy task.
