Tom Brady reportedly plans to gain weight before the 2019 season

The Super Bowl trophy tally won’t be the only statistic increasing in Tom Brady’s section of the 2019 New England Patriots media guide.

In April, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Patriots quarterback may “bulk up” by the time New England’s three-day mandatory minicamp begins on June 4. NFL Media’s Mike Giardi confirmed that report Wednesday.

“He wants to get to 232, 233 pounds to start the season because he felt like he lost a little too much weight and strength as last year progressed,” Giardi said. “Brady — constantly tinkering with that workout — feels like he’s going to maintain that pliability, but he wants to start at a little bit of a higher point.
