Story developing
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, Byron Kennedy, who was handed Tom Brady's 600th career touchdown ball by Mike Evans decided to give it back, missing out on a chance to cash in on it, but he got one hefty prize package in return.
Originally it was reported that the Bucs gave him a $1000 store credit, but he's got WAY more than that from the team AND Tom Brady gave him a bitcoin valued at just under $63,000.
