The GOATs of the sport are known worldwide by almost everyone, even if someone isn’t a sports fan. NFL has just witnessed one of the greatest careers in the sport’s history come to an inevitable end. This is one thing that saddens every sports fan; watching a legendary athlete saying goodbye to their sport.

There are times when big names come back for retirement to play again, to compete again. The competitive nature of the greats pulls them back to the game.

NFL GOAT Tom Brady had also come back from retirement once.
