It’s no secret Tom Brady’s start as a broadcaster hasn’t been smooth sailing for the NFL GOAT. According to Julian Edelman, his former New England Patriots teammate, the quarterback is improving and getting more comfortable in this new phase of his career.
Brady’s foray into broadcasting has garnered mixed reactions, but recent performances have impressed fans and critics alike. After a rocky debut with FOX Sports, where he faced criticism for his commentary, Brady appears to have turned a corner during his recent game call between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fans noted his improved delivery, engaging commentary, and a more relaxed demeanor. Brady’s ability to inject humor and insightful analysis into the broadcast resonated well, especially when he reminded viewers that championships, not just statistics, define success in the NFL. His story about almost joining the Chicago Bears as a free agent also added a personal touch to his commentary.
The transition from player to broadcaster is challenging, and many former athletes take time to adjust. Brady’s latest outing suggests he’s finding his footing and may follow in the footsteps of successful commentators like Troy Aikman and Tony Romo. However, there is also the possibility of struggling like Drew Brees did in his early broadcasting career.
Former New England Patriots Star Julian Edelman Drops Honest Take on Tom Brady’s Broadcasting Start
While most chose to criticize Brady in this new phase of his career, Edelman stood beside him. In an article by DJ Siddiqi for Responsible Gambler, the former Patriots star dropped a honest review of his ex-teammate.
“I think he’s doing great,” says Edelman of Brady’s work in the broadcast booth. “He hasn’t had the opportunity to call any great games. You can tell he’s gotten more comfortable. It’s not easy — it’s kind of like a rookie quarterback going in and having to identify. You have to take the personnel group in your play, break the huddle, go to the line of scrimmage, identify their front, you identify the safeties. He’s learning that in the booth now. It’s tough.
Edelman recently shared his thoughts on Tom Brady’s performance as a broadcaster, noting that he is improving with each game. He compared the transition to broadcasting to a rookie quarterback learning to read defenses, emphasizing the challenges he has faced.
The former Patriots wide receiver expressed excitement for when Brady calls a close game, as it would showcase his insights as a former player. Overall, Edelman believed that as he gains more experience in the booth, his commentary will continue to enhance, making him a compelling voice in the NFL.
