Tom Brady proved to the world that you don't have to be the fastest, have the biggest arm, the most physical ability, or have the most weapons on your team to become the GREATEST OF ALL TIME..

Tom Brady is the first and last quarterback who can say he's walking away from the NFL, at 44, on top of his game.
He's undeniably the greatest at his position to ever play the game, and the league loses a piece of its identity in Brady's retirement.— Dion Caputi (@nfldraftupdate) January 29, 2022
Tom Brady retires on Gasparilla, Tampa’s annual holiday celebrating buccaneers. Huge swashbuckling pirate parade going down Bayshore Boulevard right now. Someone get him on a float.

David Ortiz got voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Tom Brady retired from the NFL within four days of each other. That officially closes the book on my childhood.

There's so many crazy Tom Brady stats, but one that always sticks out to me is he left two games in his career with an injury and the only time an injury completely kept him out of a game was the 2008 season
