On February 1st, 2022, twenty-two seasons into the NFL, Tom Brady announced his retirement marking an end to the glorious Brady era. He ended it with seven Super Bowl rings (six with the patriots and one with the buccaneers), three MVPs (2007, 2010, 2017), five Super Bowl MVPs (2001, 2003, 2014, 2016, 2020), two Offensive Players of the Year ( 2007, 2010), Comeback Player of the Year (2009),  three First Team All-Pro (2007, 2010, 2017), three Second Team All-Pro (2005, 2016, 2021), 15 Pro Bowls (2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009-2018, 2021), five Time NFL passing Touchdown Leader (2002, 2007, 2010, 2015, 2021), four Time Passing Yards Leader (2005, 2007, 2017, 2021), two Time NFL Passer Ratings Leader (2007, 2010), NFL Completion Percentage Leader (2007), elected into the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, and has also holds seven major NFL Records.

UNRETIRES

“Sike,” said Tom Brady as he announced that he was coming back after just 40 days. In those 40 days, what he left of the NFC South became much weaker and easier to win due to longtime New Orleans Saints Head Coach, Sean Payton retiring.

With Brady’s return, teams have now created one of the craziest off-seasons ever. Tom Brady’s presence back on the gridiron has made all his teammates who were leaving Tampa for other teams decided to come back for another shot at the championship.

With his return comes his dominance of the sport for however long he stays, as Tom Brady the 44 year old quarterback (who will turn 45 in August) who has played in 22 NFL seasons (going for 23) has more Super Bowl wins than any other player franchise and is “the GOAT”.
