While we did get a brief glimpse into an NFL without Tom Brady, it was short-lived. To the chagrin of teams across the league, the seven-time Super Bowl champion decided to call off his retirement just over a month after his initial announcement that he was walking away from the game on Feb. 1. For anyone following Brady’s brief retirement, the news wasn’t that surprising as he hadn’t shut the door about a possible comeback almost immediately after retiring. In a recent interview with ESPN, Brady noted that he still felt the pull to play and believed he could continue to do so at a high level.
“I knew my body, physically, could still do what it could do and obviously I have a love for the game, I think I’ll always have a love for the game,” Brady told ESPN. “I do think physically I’ll be able to do it. I just felt like there was still a place for me on the field.”
To his credit, Brady’s not wrong. He had just finished a 2021 season where he was runner-up in the MVP voting and led the NFL in passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43). The Buccaneers had also won the NFC South and reached the divisional round before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
