He could have easily decided to call time on a career and retire as one of the greatest athletes to ever step onto a football field. But that’s not what TB12 is all about.
At 43, Tom Brady decided he wanted a new challenge. He signed a 2-year deal with the Bruce Arians-coached Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And within a span of 12 months has already led his new team to a Super Bowl title.
