Tom Brady’s son Jack, 15, unrecognizable as NFL legend shares rare snap alongside high school football prospect
IF a recent snap is anything to go by, Tom Brady's eldest son is beginning to look more and more like his dad.
Fifteen-year-old Jack, the son of former NFL quarterback Tom and actress Bridget Moynahan recently posed for a side-by-side shot with his dad.
The shot, which sees Tom and Jack stand back to back shows that while the youngster is nearing in on his dad's height of 6-foot-4, there's still a little way to go.
Tom captioned the Instagram snap: "Not Yet Kid!!! I'm still here," adding laughing and heart emojis.
He may not be as tall as his dad just yet, but Jack is looking more and more like the high school football star he is.
According to Tom, who discussed Jack's sporting prowess in an episode of the Let's Go! podcast with Jim Gray in October, Jack plays both free safety and quarterback.

Tom called watching Jack play "one of the great highlights of my life," adding that he enjoys watching him "dig deep."
He added how much he appreciates team sports, explaining: "I love team sports cause it forces you to get along with other people, it forces you to take responsibility and accountability for your actions, it teaches you discipline, it teaches you respect."
Tom described his eldest as "a grinder" and "a very good athlete," adding that he has "very good hand-eye coordination" and "actually moves better than I did at his age."
"I love watching him play quarterback cause there very few things in life that I can probably help him with," Tom joked.

"I don't have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the football. So, he's way smarter, he's got a great work ethic, he's just a great kid."
But despite Jack's ability on the field, Tom's focus is on making sure his son enjoys the game above anything else.
"I never imagined him playing football," Tom admitted.
"So getting out there and watching him play has been so much fun for me.
"And I don't give a s**t how well he does. I just love watching him and seeing him enjoy it with his friends. And, you know, the camaraderie at a young age."
In a recent interview with NFL Live on ESPN, Tom admitted that he wouldn't necessarily football for Jack, due to the "crazy expectations that people would put on him."
He explained: "I hope he finds the things in his life that allow him to get up every day, to be internally motivated, to work hard at something he loves to do.
"I wouldn’t choose for him to do [football] because there's too many crazy expectations that people would put on him — most of them probably very unfair, actually."
But while Tom's aim is simply for Jack to have fun, it seems that Jack himself has bigger goals in mind.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Tom's ex-wife and Vivian and Benjamin's mom, told Vanity Fair in April that Jack's goal is to follow in his father's footsteps and play football at Michigan.
But in the meantime, Tom appears to simply be looking to make the most of his time with his children.
This latest shot marks the latest in a recent flurry of photos Tom has shared of him enjoying some quality time with his children, as they make the most of their summer vacations.

Recently, he and his daughter, ten-year-old Vivian, and youngest son, thirteen-year-old Benjamin, took a trip to Disneyland.
Following their visit, Tom shared a series of shots of the three together, along with the caption: "The happiest place on earth (until you realize your kids were lying about tower of terror being 'mad chill')."
