Tom Brady, Bill Belichick headline AZXD's claymation football clips

When the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era kicked off in Foxborough, few would have predicted that their partnership would lead to a record seven Super Bowl appearances for the New England Patriots.

Fewer still would have ever guessed that the pair would one day be featured in a claymation as bar patrons requesting songs from a sombrero-wearing guitarrista in NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

And yet both improbabilities have come to pass, the latter courtesy of stop-motion artist AZXD. Here we present his creative takes on Brady, Belichick and a slew of other football stars including Eli and Peyton Manning, Cam Newton, Richard Sherman, Odell Beckham Jr. and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.

Newton and the elder Manning turn the dab into a graceful ballet and won’t let Brady steal the show.

The difficulty of OBJ’s one-handed TD catch versus the Dallas Cowboys can be compared to many things, but catching a fly with chopsticks? Mister Miyagi would approve…

AZXD had to re-dub his recreation of Richard Sherman’s famous postgame rant after Fox Sports threatened legal action over the use of the audio. Seriously?
