Nobody show this to a certain Philadelphia Eagles lineman, but the New England Patriots had fun on Tuesday.

Towards the end of practice, Quarterback Tom Brady was seen spraying his rookie teammates with a water hose.

The hose was part of a drill meant to teach ball security in rainy and slippery weather conditions.

Before the drill commenced, Patriots staffers soaked the field to create a “slip-n-slide” state.

After the soaking, the rookies began sliding through the grass and diving for footballs while Brady sprayed them with the hose to simulate rain.

According to TB12 Sports, the slip-n-slide drill is a tradition in training camp.

Their tweet contained an old photo from 2004 as evidence.

Brady would later weigh in over Twitter with a funny comment that left his fans wanting more.
