Video: Former Alabama star Courtney Upshaw bull rushes lineman, sacks Tom Brady
During Super Bowl LI between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots, Atlanta rusher Courtney Upshaw introduced himself to Patriots’ QB Tom Brady and OL Shaq Mason:
This “greeting” wasn’t during the pre-game — nor was it overly pleasant. It took place during the first quarter:

The former Alabama defensive end absolutely obliterated Mason en route to knocking Brady down. Upshaw literally bull-rushed Mason backwards into his signal caller — with little time to react.
Should Upshaw rush like this all game long, Brady could be in for a long evening.
