More than a year after he finally retired from the league, former quarterback Tom Brady has now shifted to the broadcasting side of things. This led him to share his thoughts about this change and what it means to him.
Brady had an unparalleled career spanning over two decades. Drafted by the New England Patriots in 2000, he quickly rose to become one of the greatest players in NFL history, leading the team to an impressive six Super Bowl championships. Brady’s exceptional performance was marked by five Super Bowl MVP awards and three NFL MVP honors, cementing his status as an iconic athlete.
In 2020, Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and continued his remarkable success, guiding the team to a Super Bowl victory in his first season with the franchise. This achievement made him the only quarterback to win the championship with multiple teams, further solidifying his legacy as one of the most revered players in the sport.
His remarkable longevity, unmatched statistics, and consistent dominance on the field have earned him widespread admiration and recognition as one of the most accomplished athletes of all time. Brady’s relentless competitive drive, tactical excellence, and ability to perform under pressure have made him a true legend of American football.
Former New England Patriots Star Tom Brady Gets Real on NFL Broadcasting’s Impact
Brady has been all over the place recently, including appearing in a roast on Netflix, being inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, and doing his first broadcasting gig during the UFL championship game. In an article posted on Fox Sports, the NFL GOAT shared how his new role as a sports broadcaster is giving him renewed purpose.
“I believe that broadcasting at FOX this year for the first time will give me a lot more structure like I’m used to.” Brady said. “And I really actually will look forward to that.” Brady also said he expects nervousness to set in before his debut on FOX Sports’ lead NFL broadcast team — alongside Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldo — when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the 2024 season.
That would be par for the course, he explained, because he “always had nerves” before every game of his legendary NFL career where he won seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVPs, three NFL MVPs and holds virtually every major passing record, making him widely considered the greatest football player of all time.
“The outcomes weren’t guaranteed for any of us,” Brady said. “You never really know how sports are going to go, which is why we all tune in. We tune in because the outcomes are very unexpected. … The only way that I knew how to combat the nerves and the anxiousness of the game was to prepare,” the ESPN article stated.
After announcing his retirement from professional football, Brady has been honing his skills as a commentator, drawing on his extensive experience and competitive drive to deliver insightful analysis. With his recent appearances on live broadcasts and extensive studio work, he is poised to take the next step in his post-NFL career.
As it stands, the former Tampa Bay star is just getting started with his work as sports broadcaster. Expect Brady to be all over the place when the new NFL season begins.
