Ever since Tom Brady made a comeback, he is proving that he is still the best. The Buccaneers have started with their training camps, and the entire atmosphere inside the locker room is on the path of redemption to strike back for what they lost last season.

Recently, a video from the Bucs training camp went viral with Brady throwing a bomb deep down the zone to his all-time buddy Mike Evans. What’s more intriguing is that the quarterback is spending extra time beyond the mandatory sessions to hone his skills.

Just a few days ago, the seven-time Super Bowl champion turned 45. And possibly the upcoming season might prove to be his last campaign in the NFL. So it becomes a natural move to give out everything for it.

It was a real bomb this Wednesday, where Tom Brady grabbed Mike Evans near the end of practice and worked on his arm strength with long tosses. First, he went with 60-yard slings deep down the field in an effortless manner. Later on, he increased them to 65 yards and continued the drill for 10 to 15 minutes.

The veteran was caught proving that age is just a number for him. His first touchdown pass of this year’s practice session was connected with the wide receiver, Julio Jones. The Brady-Jones combination is expected to pose a serious threat for the opponents this time.

“I don’t think there are any excuses,” Brady said when asked if his injuries were responsible for the loss. “You either get the job done, or you don’t. There’s only one team that is happy at the end of the year. It’s the team that wins. You got to come out the next year, do everything you can to put yourself into position.” He added.
