Without a doubt, even if you’re not a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, you’ll still be eager to see how Tom Brady performs in 2020. The veteran NFL quarterback created waves when he announced his decision to trade New England for Florida. Brady parted ways with mentor Bill Belichick in search of a new challenge in Tampa Bay.
The three-time NFL MVP winning quarterback turned 42 earlier this month. Despite his declining age, Brady is hungry for more. He maintains that his time in the NFL is ‘not over yet’. But is TB12 still able to terrorize defenses the way he used to a couple of years ago? Former NFL player-turned-analyst Mark Sanchez says yes.

The latest installment of ESPN’s Get Up talked about the role that Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will play in Tampa Bay this season. Host Mike Greenberg was joined by Mark Sanchez, Louis Riddick, and Ryan Clark. Sanchez, in particular, expects TB12 to go back to his NFL prime while comparing the six-time Super Bowl winner to NBA legend Michael Jordan.
“It’s Tom versus time again but I just want to take you back to that ESPN documentary on Michael Jordan that kept us all going through this pandemic. Everybody was tuned in to the TV watching Michael Jordan. That is the way Tom Brady lives his life.
”He breathes, eats, sleeps football and he is such a competitive guy. He’s got something to prove right now. When you put someone who has that addiction to winning and that passion for winning in a new situation to prove himself, I mean, look out man I wouldn’t want to be on the other side of the ball….Man, he’s going to be something this year,” Sanchez said on the show.
Sanchez could have a point in his argument. Over the last 20 years, Brady hasn’t really pushed himself to come out of his comfort zone while playing for the Patriots. The Bruce Arians project in Tampa Bay could serve as a refreshing outlet for Brady. With former Pats teammate, Rob Gronkowski at his side once again, can ‘Tampa’ Brady lead the Bucs to the Super Bowl?
