Takes one to know one, they always say.

So naturally, a sports great like Tom Brady knows talent when he sees it.

After seeing Plum in action at an Aces game on May 31, the seven-time Super Bowl champ sent her a package with a signed jersey and some swag from his TB12 brand, according to ESPN.

Plum posted a video on her Instagram story on Friday showing her excitement about receiving the gift from her favorite athlete.
