Former New England Patriots guard Shaq Mason is thrilled to be reunited with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.

Appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Friday, Mason said "it means the world" to have the opportunity to play alongside the quarterback again following his trade to the Buccaneers in March.

"I was with him for my first five seasons, so it's great just being back with him and just having a familiar guy behind me," Mason said. "He demands the best out of everyone around him, and you know what you're getting out of him day in and day out. I couldn't ask to be around a better guy."

Mason and Brady were teammates on the Patriots from 2015-19, winning Super Bowls LI and LIII together.

Mason, a fourth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2015 NFL Draft, started 98 games for New England over the past seven seasons.
