Tom Brady has been the face of the NFL for more than two decades. The staggering weight of the QB’s accomplishments exceeds every known record. In an alternate universe where age didn’t restrict athletes from pushing their bodies to the maximum, Brady would’ve wanted to continue to make his mark in the NFL. However, TB12 announced his second retirement early this year, stating that he would be putting his playing career to rest “for good.”
The need for that clarification stems from his first retirement stint last year, which spanned 40 days. But now, it looks like TB12 and football have parted ways for good. But, another individual bearing the Brady name is beginning to make waves in the sports world. So, who is this special person?
