Less than a year removed from his legendary playing career, Tom Brady evidently is not impressed with the current level of play in the NFL.
"I think there's a lot of mediocrity in today's NFL. I don't see the excellence that I saw in the past," Brady said during an appearance Monday on "The Stephen A. Smith Show."
Brady, who retired earlier this year after a record-setting 23-year career, cited numerous reasons for his evaluation of the game, including coaching and player development.
"I think the coaching isn't as good as it was," Brady said.
