NFL aficionados know Tom Brady well because of his storied legacy. What might pique their curiosity is that the GOAT is also tied to what’s progressing over the diamond. UCLA whiz Maya Brady got a shout-out from his uncle Tom. He also showed his fondness for softball during ‘The Match’ in Las Vegas.

Many fans might not be aware, but the Brady Bunch were active athletes in the past. While Tom Brady Jr. is the best QB in the NFL, Maureen, his elder sister, was an All-American pitcher at Fresno State. Even Maya has now become the next big thing in the sport of softball while being at UCLA.

Tom Brady also discussed how, born and raised, his older siblings were the family’s star athletes. People recognized him as their little brother.

He mentions, “I used to be known as Maureen Brady’s little brother. And I always said, ‘Man, one day, they’re gonna be known as Tom Brady’s elder sisters. You know this is a little family joke. But now, we’re all known as Maya Brady’s uncle and Maya Brady’s mom. She’s out there kicking butt right now. 4th or 5th UCLA, they got a great team. I love College Softball. I’ll be tuning in and watching the whole tournament.”
