Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enjoying a flying start to their 2021 NFL campaign. Bruce Arians’ boys have not suffered defeat since the season began earlier this month.
The Bucs managed to hold on to their Super Bowl-winning squad over the summer. They tied down Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and other key members to extensions. They did so in a bid to defend their title as Brady looks to build his own dynasty in Florida.
While Tom Brady is someone who prefers to do the bulk of his talking on the football field, he does not shy away from speaking on off-field matters as well.
