That’s an important distinction and one that applies to Brady.

He was never really regarded for his physicality, in fact it was one of his weak points.

He put in a lot of work to maintain his health so he could keep playing well past the age that his peers were done.

Probably the last 10 years of his career he was not beating opponents with his arm more so than with his brain, experience, knowledge of the game.
