Tom Brady Says NFL's Relaxed Jersey-Number Policy Is 'Really Pointless'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady has found a new obsession, and it's railing against the NFL's new rules regarding jersey numbers.

The league announced in April that players at certain positions will have more latitude in selecting their jerseys. Brady said at the time the change was "going to make for a lot of bad football."

On his SiriusXM podcast Let's Go!, the future Hall of Famer went a step further.

"I just thought it was a really pointless thing to change that's going to have a negative impact on the game," he said (via The Athletic's Greg Auman).
