The Deflategate saga raged on Wednesday in a New York courtroom, where a judge grilled both the NFL and Tom Brady’s legal team in order to draw a conclusion to the ridiculous controversy. The Patriots was quarterback was present for the proceedings, and he looked looked quite dapper and healthy heading into the courthouse. For proof, see the photo below.
With that being said, the courtroom artist’s interpretation of the quarterback — which made its way online shortly after the court was dismissed — caught the public by surprise. Take a look and compare:
