Every year, we obsess over highly touted rookie QBs. And rookies like Drake Maye and Caleb Williams are constantly in the spotlight for their league dominance this season. However, GOAT Tom Brady reminds us that there’s a crucial element beyond raw talent: mentorship and the right environment.

Fresh off his induction into the Patriots HOF, Brady met with the top NFL picks, including Maye, Williams, and McCarthy. The former Buccaneers QB offered a strong piece of advice to the Patriots’ rookie. Focusing on the importance of good company, Brady asserted, “I’m very fortunate to be around [Drake Maye]. His opportunity is really going to be what he makes of it. Who he’s gonna be around. How he wants to attack his profession…”

Brady’s most profound lesson isn’t about motivation, though. He shocked everyone when he remarked, “It’s not where you’re at when you’re 22, it’s who you’re around when you’re 22.” But it didn’t stop there. The legend credited his early success to hard competition and great coaches. While Brady emphasized on mentorship for young players, he also addressed the pressure of reaching lofty goals. 

The Bears’ rookie QB Caleb Williams aims to win eight Super Bowls, beating the undisputed GOAT’s record. While the 46-year-old acknowledged the hardship, he believes there is (and shall always be) only one Tom Brady and his influence on the game continues.

Tom Brady to practice Fox broadcasting role at UFL Championship game

At the UFL Championship game, Fox’s $37.5 million-a-year broadcaster Tom Brady will present Sunday night’s MVP, per Ben Fischer of SBJ. He’s likely to call the game—not for the TV audience, instead on the radio. As of now, this is the only broadcasting he’s slated to do before this season’s Week 1, but he may add preseason roles or other games to work up.

Given his unbeatable record of winning seven Super Bowls, no one could’ve done this better. Besides, this would only benefit Brady and boost Fox’s viewership—a win-win for both. With the new season approaching, all eyes are on the undisputed GOAT to see if his broadcasting abilities can match his championship pedigree.
