The day after Tom Brady retired, Patriots owner Robert Kraft went on CNN to talk about the quarterback’s legacy and their relationship.
Kraft, who owned the team when Brady was drafted, became quite close to the quarterback over his career. Kraft says Brady FaceTimed him on Wednesday, not about retirement but just so Kraft could say hello to two of his children who he hasn’t seen in some time.
To Kraft, that nurturing, loving side of Brady doesn’t get as much credit as it should, and it’s what was so crucial to him being a great teammate and leader.
