Tom Brady is retiring from football after 22 seasons in which he won a historic seven Super Bowl titles.
Brady, has always been adamant that he never wanted a “farewell season,” and many who know him believed he desired a decision made without much drama leading up to it. He will shift his focus to new endeavors and believes this is the right moment to end his playing career.
He won seven Lombardi trophies, the most championships won by a single player in NFL history, along with five Super Bowl MVPs. He piled up all-time records such as most touchdown passes (624) and most passing yards (84,250) in his 22 seasons.
Brady’s performance during the final year of his career finishing the regular season as the NFL leader in touchdowns and passing yards — suggested Brady could have continued playing at an elite championship level. But he recognized the sacrifice it would take on him and his family and felt it was time to tackle other challenges.
Brady will become the second future Hall of Fame quarterback to call it a career this postseason. On Thursday, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement.
Is he the greatest football player ever?
