The GOAT of the NFL shocked the world when he uploaded a 53-second video on his social media accounts. The seven-time Super Bowl winner announced his retirement for the second time. Without any doubt, this is the biggest news in the world of sports. Tom Brady certainly brought tears to the eyes of many people. Many superstar athletes and actors reacted to the bittersweet news.

Contrary to how fans reacted to the news (they did not believe that Tampa Tom was out of the league and joked about his second retirement), many popular personalities and admirers of the former Bucs QB wrote congratulatory messages for him.

The future Hall of Famer played his 23rd season this year. Although the season did not go as TB12 might have imagined, he managed to break and make impressive records. Who can forget that Brady is the only player in the NFL to surpass 100,000 career passing yards? The list is endless and may make people think the 45-year-old is superhuman.
