Did we, the public, jump the gun on Tom Brady's retirement plans? He has not said anything yet as of 5:58 EST.
Speculation and social media travel fast in this day in time. I bet it is true - retirement. But, Brady will say it on his own time. Look at his accomplishments:
Tom Brady's 22-year career: * 7X Super Bowl champion * 5X Super Bowl MVP * 3X NFL MVP * 15X Pro Bowl * 6X All Pro * NFL's all time passing TD leader (624) * NFL's all passing yard leader (85,520) * Most career wins: 243
*Stats via Clinton Yates on Twitter.
When Tom utters the words, "I am retiring from the NFL," then I will officially believe it.
A 7th round pick out of the University of Michigan, I wondered what it would be like meeting Tom Brady in 2008. As a student intern with the New England Patriots, the 6'5" QB walked into the training room, and the atmosphere aired as though cameras surrounded him. However, no cameras were in the building at the time.
I learned then that Brady is competitive. First to arrive and last to leave. He commanded practice well as Belichick led the entire squad.
Six months...that's all I needed to learn about the championship clad Patriots. Whenever Tom Brady showed up that off-season, oh, he was ready. That's an athlete for you: mentally and physically ready when the time arrives to train.
Regardless, what a tremendous career Tom Brady has experienced and shown us!
