It's playoff time -- and once again Tom Brady delivered. Only on this occasion, the six-time Super Bowl champion came through on a promise to send one of his biggest fans an autographed jersey. 

That big fan was defensive end Chase Young of the Washington Football Team -- all 6-foot-5, 264 pounds of him. The two were overheard at the end of last week's playoff game, which Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won 31-23, in a brief conversation that went viral on social media.

Young said to Brady, "You're the real GOAT. I need something from you, though ... I need this off you" as he tugged on Brady's jersey.  

Brady agreed to send the rookie No. 2 overall draft pick from Ohio State a souvenir from his first NFL playoff game. And a few days later, the No. 12 jersey arrived -- complete with an inscription: "Chase Best of Luck!" -- as Young revealed on his Instagram account.

Brady even took the opportunity to play up the rivalry between their two Big Ten schools. The 21-year veteran from Michigan added: "Go Blue!"
