Buccaneers star QB Tom Brady is about to enter his 23rd season in the NFL. The 5-time Super Bowl MVP recently came out of his retirement in March. He announced he will play his 3rd season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who suffered a playoff exit to the Los Angeles Rams last season. In his career, there’s no defensive player Brady would want to avoid squaring up against than Aaron Donald.

Tom Brady appeared on the Dan Patrick Show where he said“I see Aaron Donald workout on my Instagram. I’m like, ‘Damn, maybe I should have retired. He’s a beast.”
