When Tom Brady finally announced his retirement from the NFL, there was a question that popped into everyone’s mind. Who will succeed the G.O.A.T? Well, fans need not worry because there are plenty of prospects available in the market possessing the ability to become the next Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, or Brady himself. In fact, the veteran picked some names who can rule the NFL world shortly.

Even though Brady left the arena, netizens can stay assured that the league is in safe hands.

“I hope these guys like Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts can play for a long time. And Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow and these tremendous players that bring so much. That’s Why we watch–not because of the color of the jersey, because of the players in the jerseys.” Brady said in his statement.

All these comments clarify the veteran’s future aspirations and the theory that states Brady is not coming back. He has passed on the baton, and it’s time to move on.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion is expected to flourish in the second phase of his career. As a mentor and an adviser, Brady outshines everybody. All credit to his unparalleled legacy and experience accumulated in the past 23 years.
