Tom Brady is retiring. ESPN’s Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter have reported the second greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL will hang up his cleats after 22 seasons. The news comes a week after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the DIvisional Round of the playoffs. Brady and the Buccaneers had been hoping to repeat as Super Bowl champions this season.
Brady began his career as a sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots out of Michigan. Over 22 years, he became a seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time NFL MVP, the 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year, three-time First-Team All-Pro selection, three-time Second-Team All-Pro selection, and a 15-time Pro Bowl selection.
