However, Brady seemed in no mood to answer any questions. The NFL received heavy criticism from his own fans who blamed him for hanging around for ‘too long’.

Weeks later, Brady finally released a video declaring his immediate retirement from the sport. In the video, he said, “Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring, for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first”.

Brady continued, “It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year, so… really, thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me”. Fans appreciated the fact that Brady addressed the elephant in the room, at the very beginning. Without a doubt, Tom Brady is one of the greatest NFL players of all time. But whether he can be compared with the likes of Ronaldo and Messi will always be a topic open for discussion.
