He expressed, “I was actually a bit surprised just because of the level that he’s still playing at.” The 28-YO, who knows Brady all too well, couldn’t guess the goat would be taking the decision this soon. Spieth further commented that with Tom’s level of competitiveness, he should find another hobby soon, or he might go crazy.

“His priorities are going to be with his family,” Spieth added. The quarterback is a family guy and might have stepped down from his position since he doesn’t want to miss any memorable moments from his kids’ lives.

Jordan further added that he gets motivation from Brady since the former Patriot/Buccaneer athlete does not boost one’s confidence at their good times but will be a call away when one faces bad days.

Spieth even noted that Brady’s book, TB12 Method, has been a big motivation for him, and he is reading the book for a second time now. He agreed that the book changed many perspectives. 

Brady has been an inspiration for all. It was indeed a surprise when he announced his retirement. However, if Tom Terrific thinks it is the right time for him to leave the NFL, all we can do is support his decision. We wish him nothing but the best for his future endeavors.
