Broncos superstar Reece Walsh has achieved plenty in his short career thus far, however catching a pass from Tom Brady may just rank near the top.
Brady has just completed a two-stop tour of Australia, speaking at events in Melbourne and Brisbane over the weekend.
Walsh, as well as the rest of the Broncos team, attended An Evening with Tom Brady at the Brisbane Showgrounds over the weekend.

Over 2000 attended the Brady speaking event in Brisbane while 3000 packed into the Crown Palladium in Melbourne.
One of the highlights of the Brisbane show was when Walsh, who joined Brady on stage with Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale, streaked across the middle of the room to catch a pass from the greatest quarterback of all time.
In typical Brady fashion, he threw a dart about 30 metres to hit Walsh in the chest. Unsurprisingly the Broncos fullback made no mistake on his end either.

Walsh, who snared himself a signed ball from the QB, said he was interested in Brady’s approach to the game and the “mindset” he needed to forge the Hall of Fame career he did.
“Not every day you get to see Tom Brady talk and then get to catch a ball and get it signed,” Walsh told The Courier Mail.
“How he applied himself everyday and his mentality … for myself, being at a younger age, it’s good to listen and hear one of the best players talk about his mindset and how he tackled every day.”
Walsh wasn’t the only huge name in Australian sport to catch a pass from Brady over the weekend.
UFC star Alex Volkanovski may have a featherweight title fight against Ilia Topuria in February to prepare for, but he was in a relaxed mood when he attended Brady’s Melbourne event.
“See, there’s part of me that says, I can’t make it that easy, because they’re going to go back and be like, ‘That was easy, I caught a pass,’” Brady said to the crowd.
“So sometimes I like to make it a little hard. But not for him (Volkanovski), because I love him! You’ve got to go right down the middle.”
The UFC champion caught the pass to rapturous applause.
Carlton Blues coach and AFL legend Michael Voss was another to catch a pass from Brady during the Melbourne show.
