Tom Brady’s 3 Stars of Week 3: Saquon Barkley, Jayden Daniels and Derrick Henry | DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Here’s who Brady chose as his 3 Stars of Week 3!

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley

Week 3 stats: 147 rushing yards, 17 carries (8.6 yards per carry), 2 rushing touchdowns, 4 catches, 9 receiving yards

Brady’s thoughts: “The Eagles won a tight game in the Superdome against a team in the Saints that was on fire. He touched the ball a bunch — 8.6 [yards] a carry, two fourth-quarter TDs. Saquon’s looking pretty good in those Eagles colors. I’ve got them this Sunday in Tampa, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels

Week 3 stats: 21-for-23 (91.3% completion rate), 254 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 12 carries, 39 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown

Brady’s thoughts: “Welcome to Monday Night Football, young man. What a performance. Three total touchdowns. This is crazy — he had more touchdowns than incompletions — only two all game. A 91% completion [rate], incredible. He was the No. 2 overall pick for a reason. He’s got the league on notice, and Washington is off to a 2-1 start.”

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry

Week 3 stats: 151 yards, 25 carries (6.0 yards per carry), 2 rushing touchdowns, 1 catch, 23 receiving yards

Brady’s thoughts: “Last, but certainly not the least. He was also my LFG Player of the Game. Every time I watch this guy, I feel bad for the defense. He had 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens signed him in the offseason for games like this. He and Lamar [Jackson] were so comfortable back there together in the shotgun, working their magic. I don’t want to be a defensive coordinator in this league trying to figure out this Ravens offense.”
